well, yesterday i met with my support raising supervisor and we put a date on the calender for when all my monthly support needs to be in by! its kinda scary yet good because hopefully it will be a motivator for people who have not sent their cards in because they are waiting to do it later.  its scary because if i am not able to reach my goal i will have to sit down and re-evaluate with the TreeHouse director's if this is really where i am supposed to be. i have (as of yesterday) $354 a month left to raise. i have verbal commitments from a few other people resulting in approx. $75 a month toward my goal so that puts me under the $300 mark. The date we set is Feb. 25th. I think the opportunity is still there for me to reach my target because there are still people on my list to call and contact as well as the church we are currently attending (on Wednesday they are voting to add a new line item into the budget for "local/community outreach" which is what my job would be considered). Pray that the line item is passed and the church is able to help me take a big chunk of my monthly target away! i am not nervous yet or concerned that i will fail because i still have 4 weeks left til the 25th and i know there are still others on my list that should hopefully be willing to give. pray that people are generous and willing to give! Thanks in advance for praying!

well, like Maggie said, we are moving this weekend! our apt looks really empty because nothing is on the walls, the shelves are empty, the computer and desk are gone, all our storage in the closets is gone, and our kitchen is in the process of being boxed up. i hope you all can come visit us in our new house soon! David, Adrienne, glory, Tim, and Dana have seen our new house so hopefully the "little family" will be able to see it soon too (as well as the halls!). maybe we'll have to do thanksgiving or Christmas here this upcoming year (we'll have the babies so we'll have to use that as our bait!).

talk to you all soon!

ps… If anyone knows of someone who would be willing to hear more about partnering with me and TreeHouse give me their phone number and tell them i'll give them a call! Thanks!

also, f you know of anyone who wants to buy a house and does not have a realtor let me know because i have this thing set up with Coldwell Banker. They will giive me a referral bonus check for TreeHouse support if i refer a home buyer or seller to them and that person uses their services!!!!! its not like its thousands of dollars but it would be very helpful in reaching my goal!
