GBG teamed with FRC at IBC!

Ok---that all means:

Girlfriends Bible Group teamed up with the Family Resource Center at Immanuel Baptist Church! (for those who may have had a confused look on their face)



Food Giveaway!

We had 7 of our GBG girls helping out at the food giveaway on Saturday. Personally, it was my first...and I didn't know what to expect. I did prepare myself for what I may see, just because it doesn't take much to get me emotional over precious children.

I can not put into words the awesomeness of Gods work that day. Before we knew it, people were pouring in and taking a seat around us waiting for their turn to get good to help them make it through Spring Break. Me, Malorie, Bobbie-Jo, Marci, and Hannah's jobs were to help the people with surveys, lend a helping hand to those who couldn't see well or write or even read, and walk the groups over to get their buggy full of food.

Talk about an overwhelming feeling. We sure do take for granted the necessities we have that come so easy to us. These people need help even just to have a good meal.

The kids were precious. So innocent and in need of our help. I admire the parents for going who did. I can not imagine how it made them feel to have to get help like that from strangers...but as a mom I know I would do whatever it takes to make sure my babies were getting what they needed as well.

Bobbie Jo and I realized we should NOT be paired up to do anything like this together. Every time we turned and looked at each other we had big tears in our eyes. Our hearts went out to these kids, and elders, and the entire families. At one point I had to walk completely away and get out a good cry.

How can I explain it better than God's work was in clear view on Saturday. And we are so thankful we could be a part of it.

Our other 2 girls were over helping to fill the buggies :)



Clothing Giveaway!
Tuesday, March 22nd is our clothing giveaway at the FRC. We still have time to get clothes together to send over there! Also if you are available to help volunteer that day let me know :)


I love you girls and I love what we are doing!
