Success and Ribbons

We were finally able to take our passport paperwork late on Monday afternoon, just twenty minutes prior to their closing. Things throughout the day kept pushing our trip back, but we had success. Our passports are to be back just in time to meet our church's deadline of January 15. God again acted - not late - just in time!

By the way, that was our second attempt to take our applications to the office. We went on Friday, but there was a line. We needed to pick up materials for Woody's business before they closed so we had to leave. God was faithful to him to get all he needed, and the ministry needs were meet too.

Also, I wanted to let you know about our plan to take ribbon with us to Africa. Our leaders asked us to pray about something to take in our luggage to give to those we are serving. I felt lead to take ribbon. It is lightweight for our luggage requirements, and it can to used for may things. We can tie lengths to sticks to make flags for waving during worship. Little girls can use pieces to adorn their hair. Adults can decorate their homes. A little splash of color is a bright note for any one's heart.

If you would like to contribute ribbon to the cause, just let me know. We received our first donation of a foot long piece when I recently told a friend of our plans. Any type, size or length would be a blessing.

Thank you for reading all this. I look forward to someone responding one day.
