so today we met julie at the oasis to help organize this one closet that is absolutely FULL of baby clothes, baby bottles, baby blankets, baby diapers, baby everything. (susie, emma, you would die to have a room so full of baby things.) i'm guessing austrians are just really into donating. which is great! anyhow, one of julie's "things" is to make baby bags filled with all sorts of baby goodies to give away to expecting or new mothers. kendra and i met her there this morning to organize and take inventory of this closet. we also prepared a few baby bags ready to be given whenever the need arose. this took close to 2 hours, and once we were finished we prayed over the bags. now, i personally don't usually use terms like "prayer warrior" but if there ever was such a person, julie would be the poster woman. she really is quite a lady. we prayed over these bags, for the recipients of the bags, for the babies who would stay warm with what came in the bags, and we prayed that people in need would know to come find these bags.
well wouldn't you know it that as the three of us were sitting down to a nice bowl of soup and fresh bread that julie treated us to, the doorbell rings and in comes a young couple from chechnya with a 3 year old daughter and a 7 MONTH OLD BABY BOY.
coincidence? i think not.

Beck, I don't think your blogs are too long! If people don't want to read it they don't have to. I love reading all of your entries. Wonderful about the baby bags! =) Missing you girls like crazy, but so happy that you are having this experience! Hugs to you both, Vic
Amen! I agree! Plus, you will have this "journal" to look back on years from now. Write as much as you want, and those of us who really care will read every word (maybe more than once)! Scott
so i only really care if i read the *whole* thing? pff...thanks, scott.
just messing, good stuff! keep 'em coming. i would write a new blog myself, but i've got nothing to say.
Longer the better! Keep up the good work.
I like your long blogs, Bec. It makes me feel like we are sitting over ARC chai and you are telling me what happened. Keep it up.
aw beck i agree with everyone in saying make it as long as your heart desires. wish i could have been there with you to coo over a baby and prepare bags for them. sounds amazing. even more so to see such a beginning to an answer to prayer.
