Hello Dear Readers!

I cannot believe that it is already Saturday! Time certainly goes by quickly. I have had a wonderful week, and I hope you have as well. As you all probably know by now, I have been participating in Miss Emily's "Summer With a Purpose" challenge. I have had so much fun, and I feel as though I've accomplished a lot throughout the past five weeks of summer. If you are interested in joining Summer With a Purpose, just click HERE.

So, this week, I didn't accomplish a large amount of projects. I was still able to do quite a few things though!

1. Foster Care Ministry

One of my mother's dear friends recently started a foster care ministry. Our family decided to get involved with this wonderful project. I will explain to you what the ministry is all about...

Each month we receive donations of children's (newborn to young adult) clothing. We take one day out of each month, and open up a "store" at our church. Foster families come in that day, and the foster children are able to choose about five outfits each for free. We also have a toy table displayed, where they may choose some new toys to bring home with them.

It is so wonderful to see the children's faces light up as they walk out the church doors with full bags of clothing and toys.

July 9th was our first night opening the "store" to the foster families.

The Lord definitely blessed the evening, and made the children happy as they left the church! I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful ministry. I am also earning volunteer hours as I help the ministry! I am very thankful to be apart of such a wonderful program!


2. Photography
I have been practicing my photography skills a little bit, although I am going to post the photos in a different post, which I will post (hopefully) sometime next week!



3. Bible Reading
I am working on some computer designing for my daddy right now. He and I are trying to find the perfect verse for what I am working on. I have enjoyed looking at certain topics in the Bible and studying them. The Lord teaches us so much in His Word. I am just so thankful to God for His wonderful promises.
I have also been reading a few chapters from the book of Psalms this week. Psalms is a true encouragement. I have enjoyed reading bits and pieces throughout it this week!


4. Sewing
Although I haven't completed any sewing projects this week, I am hoping to start a new project next week. I will be sure to let you know what I will be making!


I pray that you have a blessed evening, dear readers. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and remember... If you would like to enter my 100th Post Giveaway, please click HERE.
