For my 200th post since the start of the 100 days project I thought I should share with you some fun news that I found out after I had gone past my goal. Warm Blankets Orphan Care is flying me out to meet their team. In CHICAGO!!!!! I’ve been crazy excited about this since I found out and really looking forward to celebrating with them what God has done. S0 yes, this week I will be flying off to the Windy City and needing to be be all “rugged up” (i.e dress warmly) as my Aussie friends would say. Even though I am currently sitting in front of a crackling, blazing, warm fire and can barley imagine being cold I’m doing my best to pack lots of cozy things. If you think to, please pray for me as I will be sharing at a tea they are hosting. I want to spread the love of Christ wherever I go and inspire others to know true joy in Jesus and to make their lives count. Also hello to all anyone reading this who might be from Chicago. 🙂 I’m thrilled I get to come to your city! Anyways I hope to have pictures and stories to share with you next week. 🙂
P.S. I just had to put this picture in ’cause I love my kids so much. 🙂 Also there are still needs, such as mattresses and bedding, for these homes so if you want to donate you still can! 😀 Each donation helps to change a life.
This photo made me want to jump on a plane and fly out and go out to coffee with you. 🙂 The morning light and the happy light in your face and the cozy outfit made me want to just curl up at a coffee shop and chat… =}
I’m SO excited about your trip to Chicago and I cannot wait to see the pictures and hear all about it. I’ll be praying for you a lot!

How much do mattresses cost? I’ve been thinking and praying about doing some sort of fundraiser specifically for them, and I couldn’t figure it out from the Warm Blanket webpage. Thank you for blessing me! 🙂 ~Emily
$50 per mattress and that’s not including sheets and pillows….
Yes, please raise money for this need!
