Humbled yet again...

A client that is also a very unique artist made this shirt for me! 


I just love it and am so very humbled by the blessings that we receive!  He said to took a little longer than he expected because he had to borrow the money for the red paint.  I asked him what I could get him since I didn't have any cash and I'm now at BK loading him up with a whopper meal.  :-). So very blessed!

Sometimes the needs are few...


One of our very special clients who recently received housing after being homeless for many years told me he was bringing me a list of things he still needed for his new apartment. I told him to bring it to me and we would see what we could do....I was so humbled when he handed me this simple list last Saturday at Jacob's Well. I am so thankful that his greatest needs have turned to simple household items like a dustpan and dish rack when last year at this time they were food and shelter. I am thankful for those that are humbled by their past, and still modest and hopeful for their futures! Please join us is praise for this client, he has come a l-o-n-g way!

We have a special request from a new client, she is a single woman and moved into her apartment in March. She has been living without a stove, washing machine, T.V., couch or even chairs. She did not ask for these things, they came up in ...conversation when I asked her what she had and didn't have...humbling to say the least. She called only to ask for utility assistance because her bill is due later this month and she knows she is going to be short. I am thankful for her trying to be proactive, we have referred her to a partner ministry for help with utilities because the organizations that help with this are either out of funds or she doesn't qualify because she hasn't lost employment in the last 90 days. 

 If you or anyone you know has any of the appliances she needs and can help deliver them, please let us know! One thing I can promise when providing this type of donation and time is that you will be blessed. Thanks so much and please share...
