ORDER STATUS~

All I got to say is I love my girls!!

I praise God for them and He knows that things would not get done in a glorifying manner without them! Baby be Blessed is a body of hands and feet working together for His awesome glory!! Laura keeps me together with all of the orders coming in and works with every single scripture patch!! She gets everything ready to print out onto fabric! My sister, Michelle works week after week with all of the arms and legs which can be a very tedious job. Tracing, sewing, cutting, and stuffing the same pieces over and over. But Michelle always has a joyful heart and also helps with the blankets, crowns, diapers, and whatever else we throw at her! Then we have Norma making the doll outfits and Lori's sister Lynn helping with the doll dresses and skirts! Thank you so much ladies, you do an awesome job!! And last but certainly NOT least, we have Miss Lori and Miss Denise kickin' some bootie on the machine!! Lori sews all the dolls and Denise sews all the Lambs, Lions and Bunnies! They also help me with cutting and getting things organized and ready to go. I just wanted to mention all of them this morning, because Baby be Blessed would not be what it is without them. The Lord has placed us all together and we continue to be obedient with what He as given.

With all of that said, I am so very excited and blessed to share how many dolls will be shipped out again this week!!

We continue to pray for each and every child as their doll passes through each of our hands! Use these dolls to Your glory Lord and we thank You for the opportunity to make them and spread your Word...one doll at a time!

Too Cute...Tuesday!

(Written by Grace's Mommy)

Grace was an orphan on the other side of the globe. She has Down Syndrome. Many times in other countries, orphans with special needs are given a small window of opportunity to be adopted. If they are not adopted by a certain age (usually about 4 years old), they are often placed in mental institutions. One day we looked at the Reece's Rainbow website. Reece's Rainbow is a ministry that finds forever families for children with Down Syndrome (and other special needs) around the world.God led us to that site and ultimately to our daughter Grace. In August of 2009, we traveled to her orphanage to pick her up. We took a Baby be Blessed doll with us to meet her. She was very attached to her favorite caretaker at the orphanage, so she didn't take well at all to us taking her away. It was not an easy day for her.

1) Photo 1 is of my husband having our first attempts to bond with Grace. She was interested in the Baby Be Blessed doll (but not us!).:) She leaned in close to see the doll but didn't want to get too close to us.

2) Photo 2 is of Grace the next morning in our hotel bed. She had a bit of a restless night, and this doll was her comfort and best friend. It aided in the transition so much!

3) Photo 3 is of Grace on the airplane. She didn't know exactly where she was or what was happening, but she was secure with us and her doll.

4) Photo 4 is of Grace after being home about a month. She is a different child! What a difference a home and family can make! And her Baby be Blessed doll is still her favorite baby. (Oh, and her first English word was "DOLL!") :)

May God be Glorified! ~Tina

YAY...Free Friday!!

Jesus said to her,

"I am the resurrection and the life.

He who believes in Me, though he may die,

he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in

Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

John 11:25-26

Whoo Hoo!! It's YAY...Free Friday!! We are going to give away this precious pink chenille lamb! She measures 16" tall and has an espresso brown smooth minky face and inner ear! Her nose and mouth are handstiched. She has safety eyes, a touch of blush on her cheeks and pink crochet flower! The ribbon around her neck reads truly, madly, deeply in love -which I feel is so appropriate since God is love and has shown how truly, madly and deeply in love He is with us by sending Jesus to be the Savior of the world!

"We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." 1 John 4:16

We don't like to stay in the same old rhythm of things around here, so....

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! =)

The winner will be chosen randomly from those who are following this blog through Google Friend Connect. To be entered...simply follow this blog by clicking the follow button found above this post. That's it!!

I'll choose the winner on Monday morning!

*Now...if you follow this blog and win this lamb and do not want it, you may have the choice to pass and I will pick another winner.

Have a FANTASTIC weekend!!
Much - Much Love!!
~Tina
