Perhaps I am CRaZy...or maybe not?

Okay, so the picture of my dog, Silly Bunter, isn't that exciting...

but as there were no pictures snapped this morning of all my adventures;

Bunter is my faithful stand in.

Yeah my Bible study began!! Yeah God made me call my girlfriend, Sarah to re- invite/persuade/light the fire under her to come. For every excuse sweet Sarah had, I had the rebuttal, praise God. And guess what, it worked!!! Yeah God again!! She came and she liked it!!

And I sold 7 tickets (to the Bible Study Babes, as our leader calls us) to our adoption fundraiser for February 27th !! Yeah God.

And one person gave a donation...yeah God!!

Others said, be sure to bring the tickets next week, as then they'd have the funds.

Hurray God!!

As I neared my home, I past a curbside of furniture-free for the taking! I drove by. Well, for a moment, then the thought occurred to me that maybe there was something *wooden* that could be refurbished and then used for the raffle for our fundraiser. I turned around and guess what.

I found a country hutch made of pine and a cute little occasional/end table, both in need of a paint job little love. Now I may be crazy, but as a mother who is madly in love with a little girl on the other side of the world, well sometimes I find myself thinking outside of the box with ways that might bring in funds. I think this is one of them or maybe it was the Holy Spirit?

Inside the hutch was a note, a very old yellowed handwritten note it says:

Chris,

Your Dad was aware that this was the "Big One" but I'm not sure what

he had in mind so gift will follow after I get further instructions.

Barbara

of course it might as well say this:

Kimmie,

Your Father (God) was aware that this was a "Big One"

but I'm not sure what He had in mind,

so gift will follow after I get further instructions.

~A Heavenly Messenger

I will take before and after pictures of the little *donations* towards our fundraiser....unless of course my Knight makes me put them back where they came from...

And regardless, it was a bit exhilarating~ a change of pace for my spirit; as I have been fighting discouragement; which seems to be trying to come at me from all angles these days.

....to be continued.
