I think I've mentioned that I do a sewing class at our church. The class is the brain child of a lady who wanted to find a way to reach out to the immigrant ladies living in the neighborhoods around our church. I feel so blessed that I get to be a part of it. I've said many times that it is a dream come true for me. It combines some of my most favorite things....
crafting and international ladies and Bible study.
This summer Lily and I were talking a little about children who don't have mommies and daddies. And things we could do to love them. We had the idea together to make them "taggie lovies" b/c Lily loves hers so much. Then, just a week or so later, Mary, the lady who leads sewing, told me that she had the idea to make baby blankets for a missionary doctor from our church who works in Kenya. So excited. Lily and I bought our material and got to sewing (after much procrastination). We only managed to make 2 lovies (before presenting them to the doctor this morning). But we may sew more??
Here is one of our finished products (oops, forgot to rotate pic).
Here are all of the blankets from the ladies at sewing class. :)

Left center below is the OB-GYN in Kenya. It was so encouraging to have her join us, to hear about her work, and to look together at how Jesus loves women so personally. Her testimony of her calling tied in so perfectly with what we've been looking at in our Bible study lessons.
It is such a joy to be involved in this class.
Its a highlight of my week and "fills my tank" to be with these ladies.
Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 1 Thess 2:8
