11:00 pm on a Friday Night

11:00 on a Friday night and I'm sitting in the floor covered in packs of Ra men Noodles and I just stop for a minute and have to laugh.  What a party!  I'm delirious.  After hours of sorting clothes yesterday and hours sorting canned goods, microwaveable dinners, snacks, toiletries etc tonight I'm going to say that this MISSION is close to complete.  Tomorrow bright and early we will head out on a delivery mission to Bruce, Fl to the Muscogee Nation.  There we will meet the families that our wonderful community rallied together for and collected the majority of items that they needed to function on a daily basis.  Just an idea of what we were up against;
  1. Grandmother providing a roof over 9 children living in a trailer that has not had power to in 3 years. By the grace of God and Village Baptist Church she has power but still needed some things. This grandmother recently found she has uterine cancer and will have a major surgery to remove everything including lymph nodes.  We are providing her some clothing, bedding, bed pads for after her surgery and a King mattress seeing the one she is using has springs poking through. One of our little 10 yr old buddies will receive his Aeropostle Jacket he has dreamed about. THANKS COACH CHRISTAL.THANK YOU PATH OF GRACE AND MANY MORE
  2. Family living in motel last week (mother father, 3 kids, 16 yr old & parents) we are proud to share they are in a home. Some received job opportunities others are checking in to some potential leads.  Praise GOD! However, they needed things to get settled in such as beds.  Everyone has slept on floors for the past 2 days in hopes we will be able to get them beds tomorrow out of the furniture being brought in by some churches.  Wish us luck!  We are also taking them loads od clothing including brand new outfits for grandparents interviews (Thanks Wendy's friend), diapers and blankets etc.  THANK YOU WENDY(Prime Lending) GAY(LaFlorida Coastal Real Estate), PATH OF GRACE
  3. Food, Toiletries, diapers etc to Stephanie Bailey for Walton County Schools Kidz Closet. Donations she is receiving from the "Snowbirds" and residence at Edgewater in Destin will be providing hunger children snacks while at school so they do not go home starving.The donations are in abundance.  THANKS EDGEWATER IN DESTIN.
  4. Truck load of clothing donations shared by PATH OF GRACE and others such as Coach Casey, and Wendy to distribute to families in need and/or give to the Muscogee Nation for their thrift store. 
This trip is HUGE, not really sure how we're getting it all there, but pics will reveal it all.
MAY GOD BLESS EVERY ONE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES IN ABUNDANCE. Please step back and realize what we think is bad is not bad.  Appreciate what you have, who have and where you are in life. Most of all THANK GOD for the blessings he has provided.
