Another Mission completed by the Grace of God!

I want to first of all, thank God for planting the seeds (people and opportunities) in my life, as he has.  He always comes through and it amazes me how he brings, just the right people in your life, at just the right time. When you take risk or take chances, it is so easy to doubt yourself and your plan of action.  However, it never fails when I'm filled with despair or doubt, I am lifted by prayer, and things become so clear.
I am thankful he has lead us to so many families in need and provided us with the generous hearts that want to reach out with us.  It is humbling to know that others believe in our missions and want to walk this walk with us.  He has and will always provide in abundance when we call upon his name.  We are blessed to bless others.

What was once a dream and a "to do" on my "Bucket List" is now becoming reality.  That is an awesome feeling. The excitement and joy I feel is unmeasurable. 
I want to thank Stephanie Bailey(Homeless Liaison for Walton County Schools) and Dianne McManus(case worker for Opportunity Inc.)  for giving us the opportunities to help our homeless and needy families.  They are both amazing women that dedicate ever second they can allocate to families in need. Their generous hearts inspire me.  I know they have wings underneath their shirts. "Angels in disguise"

Mission: Feb 21st, Monday,  I received a call around 10am, from a mother in Freeport that we had helped with some donated clothing and tolietries .  This family lost their home and was forced to live in a motel with 3 small children. She said "Stephanie, I hate to call you, but I didn't know what else to do. We are down to 3 oranges and we do not know what we will eat tonight."   After consoling her, I explained I would gather what I could and get it to her before dinner.  Having no idea how I was going to pull this off considering we have no food pantry,  I took a deep breath, prayed and mission was in ACTION......Thank you Lord, for always providing.
I called my "Partner in Mission" Courtney and she reminded me to go visit Gay Landreath.  This amazing soul, had already bought grocery gift cards for me to help families. I calle dGay, told her of the situation and she said "They are here baby, come get them." As I was heading to her office in Grayton Beach,  Wendy Kotowske, calls "Steph I want to help with some families and get some items needed in recent email." Once I told her the situaiton as well, she put her wings on and flew to the store. hehehe Within 3 hours I had picked up gift cards, met Wendy loaded a trunk full of groceries she bought, then headed to Destin Walmart to get other necessities they needed and on the road again,  just in time to get to them in Freeport before dinner.  WOW. MISSION COMPLETE. The family was so shocked and thankful.  They explained they had called out to churches and other places that could not provide resources and felt like they were against all odds.  They were hopeless, but remembered our visit with them the weekend before and said "I know we can trust that Stephanie lady, she seemed sincere."  They knew they could count on us.  That is AWESOME! With no immediate resource to help them we called out and our community made it happen.  It is because of Gay and Wendy, that this family of 7 did not go to bed hungry last night.  May we pray for Tasha and her family. May they overcome all challenges they are up against and see the works of God in progress.

Thank you ladies! With my whole heart, I love you all that make it possible for us to help others.
GMomma Out, Steph
