it is time

yes.

it is time!! we got our court date and it is VERY soon. we are making last minute preparations and filled with SO much excitement that it.is.time!

now that we know our court date, that means that there will be more African paper bead necklaces very soon! i will be buying another batch to bring home and ship out to you. these are made from women in Africa that i will buy directly from. this literally helps feed their family. please use the paypal button on the right to pre-order one of these....they make wonderful gifts and have been selling out quick! i will put a picture below....they are $20.

[ALL ITEMS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM PAYPAL BUTTONS ON RIGHT SIDE OF BLOG. thank you!!]

i'm also going to post our two styles of shirts right now. we are so thankful for the support that we've been given through this fund-raising. AND so excited that so many of you are wearing these shirts and have the opportunity to share about the orphan crisis. there are around 147 MILLION orphans world-wide. you can help bring one to their forever family while educated others by wearing this shirt! below you can see the back. the front of the shirt has the verse:

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Proverbs 31:8a

We still have many sizes and colors of the Let Love Grow shirt below. It has a beautiful tree on the front and the back is a quote from Mother Teresa: "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you can live as you wish." I think of this quote every single day. Sure, I still live a complete life of luxury, but I hope that I continue changing that, questioning that, reconciling that so that more children can have food, water, love, a family.....hope.
