Seriously, you all keep blowing me away with your generosity. This Expecting Books Give Fest is blessing my socks off. We’re well on our way to finding a home for all 175 books. Some of you have asked how you can help.
Well, here’s how: 1.) you can pray for the women who will be receiving the books (specifics in a minute) 2.) you can donate a book for $5 here. 3.) If you volunteer at a pregnancy center in your area or are connected with one in some way, please contact me about getting some books to them. or 4) You can Sponsor a Box of Books by paying the postage to ship them to a pregnancy center.
I went to the post office today and found out that I can ship 16 Expecting books in a flat-rate box for $10.35. Not bad! They’re the perfect size. Someone has already donated $10.35 to send 16 books to the Flint Crisis Pregnancy Center (Flint, Michigan).
If you’re interested in helping in this way, I’m also sending boxes of 16 books to Compassion Pregnancy Center (Clinton Township, Michigan), Pregnancy Care Center of Union County (Marysville, OH), and Miami Valley Women’s Center (Kettering, OH). If you’re interested in “sponsoring” one of those boxes, let me know.
I sent 6 books to Severna Park Pregnancy Clinic (Severna Park, Maryland) today. The names in those books are: Lisa, Elizabeth, Sandi, Matt, Jessica and Living Proof Ministries. Thanks for praying, friends!
I’m going to keep this up for as long as I feel God giving me the go-ahead. I’m praying for big things–lives touched, hearts changed, women encouraged and anything else God wants to do! I’m also anticipating some opposition in the days/weeks to come–which is to be expected anytime you’re reaching out with God’s love and truth in a world where evil wants to reign. I would love your prayers!
And on a lighter note…
Fun question(s) for you today:
1. How much did you weigh when you were born?
2. What color/how much hair did you have?
3. And did you have to call your mom to answer #1 and #2?
1. no clue!
2. tons of black hair which fell out a couple months later and came back thinner and reddish
3. its too late to call mom!
I’ll help ship a package if you need me to…just let me know. Would LOVE to help.
I wish I could answer these questions. I have NO idea:( I do think I had very little hair based on memories of some pictures … wish I knew more:(
Blessings to all of you this evening and always….

Matthew 21:22
I’m on the board of a charity which provides a transitional living facility for homeless women. You wouldn’t believe the number of homeless women who come in who are pregnant!
Inspired by you, I’m going to give the copy I have upstairs to the next pregnant homeless woman who comes in to our transitional living home!
1.) 5 lbs., 2 oz.
2.) Strawberry blonde, average amount
3.) Nope. I think I’ve heard it a million times now, especially since I’ve had a baby!
10 lbs. 9 oz. (I think I win this one)
Little to no hair, blonde-ish
Nope. I think I was told my birth weight when I was six months old and Mom hasn’t let me forget it since. Not that I blame her.
