The Fuller Center Iowa Lakes family is growing. We have our five board members -- a diverse group of our friends and neighbors in the Lakes area -- and more volunteers are coming forward. We will be meeting with our board soon to sign our Articles of Incorporation and ByLaws. We've received some in-kind donations for our first project house and will soon be able to receive monetary donations, too.

As a nation, we're in the worst financial situation since the Great Depression. Has that affected your giving? It will affect everyone and everything. It provides all the more reason to help our struggling neighbors make their homes livable so they can stay there.

I talk a lot in this blog about the call on my husband, Ed's, heart. We've been so affirmed, so blessed, so overwhelmed by how it's all coming together -- confirming what we've felt for years.

Okay, here's the video for this blog. It's by my favorite band, Downhere -- a new song that came out this Fall.



"Here I am, Lord, send me. Somehow my story is a part of Your plan."

"In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces. I can't put this together, but You can."

Blessings in this season to you all. In Advent we remember the light in the darkness. In His birth, we'll see the light fill the world. Thank you for glowing some light in the darkness, for having faith that He will put together your piece of this mess.
