be the change

"Sometimes I would like to ask God, why He allows poverty, famine and injustice in the world, when He could do something about it... but I'm afraid He might ask me the same question."  Anonymous

Oh my word. I was completed convicted when I read this quote.  And then I continued reading.  Her story.  About her family.  Their faith.  Their willingness to serve God.  Their passion.  For children.  For adoption.  For serving others.

You see Ms. Amy is moving. To Guatemala.  And not just her.  But her family.  Her large family, five of which are adopted.  To serve.  In an orphanage called Eagles Nest.

You can read more about these sweet children at Eagles Nest here.  What a joy to know that Amy is willing  to "be the change" as she signs her blog posts.  She is living it.  And I find that so inspirational.

I can't help in the way that Amy is.  But I can help a little, although I feel almost embarrassed by this small contribution.  But I long to help.  So from now when you mention eagles nest and make a purchase in my online store 25% of the sale will go to the orphange.  Be the change.

A little bit about ms. karen

  I am a mom.  mommy.  mama.  wife.  follower of Jesus.  And I love every second of it.  My sweet peas are growing up and that means I am getting older.  Yikes.

My first love?  Relationships.  With Jesus.  My family.  My friends.  I'm such a sentimental gal.  Show me a picture and I will show you a scrapbook.  When the kids were real little I would journal every day.  I also love antiques.  Especially the ones from family.  Those are the best.

 

Before I was a mommy I was a teacher. Elementary.  3rd grade.  Title One.  That's another one of my loves.  Teaching.  That's why I now substitute teach.  It's so much fun!  I always say substitute teaching is like being the favorite aunt.  You come in, have fun with the kiddos for the day, teach them a little something new, wipe a few runny noses, break up a few arguments.  Then you leave.  And if you are lucky enough, you get to make a visit or two again.

And then there is sewing.  Handstitching, really.  Creating.  That's all a love too.  A Perfect Treasure.  My business is named that because I want to create that special little treasure for you.  One that you will cherish and know that it was made with love.  One little stitch at a time.

Where can you find my sweet little treasures?
