Advent: DayS 7-10

I don't promise to get any better at this everyday-blogging-thing.

Day 7 Verses: Numbers 24.15-19, 2 Peter 1.19, Revelation 22.16
Day 8 Verses: Exodus 20.1-17
Day 9 Verses: Joel 2.12-13
Day 10 Verses: Isaiah 40.1-11

"'Even now,' declares the Lord, 'return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning'"(NIV84 Joel 2.12-13).

It's been a rough couple of weeks. I was sick and am finally at the end of it. Baby Girl had a cough for a couple of days. Pastor Husband got sick last week and went to see the doctor today. They diagnosed him with pneumonia! Can you believe it? Like I said...rough, in this household, under our roof.

I wanted to share a thing we're doing at church. We have a couple, who have been coming for the past month or so and they are such dear people. She is actually a character at Disneyland - we get a lot of Disney employees being so close to the theme park. Anyway, they started coming and they have since shared with us the story of their granddaughter, Emalynne. Emalynne, sadly, passed away at 6 months of age from  heart issues. Her parents and grandparents have chosen to use her death to bless others by gathering pocket-size Bibles and travel-size toiletries. They're going to put them in packages and distribute them to parents who practically live in hospitals because their child is sick.

If you would like to contribute, you may send your donations to: 701 W Broadway Anaheim CA 92805. Feel free to mail or drop them by! The name of the project is "Emalynne's Love Gifts".
