I will be adding pictures of cute little boys and girls who need someone to buy them Christmas gifts soon! I am going to try to spend sometime working on this in the next three or four days. Check back next week!
Thanks!!

Let's get this party started!!!
So this year I am determined to start out earlier and work smarter at getting Christmas delivered to all of the sweet children that God places in our path. The first thing we need is shipping money. Last year we cut things really close and were praying the money in at the end. God provided but it did make things a little stressful around here! Anyway I would like to know if anyone has any grand ideas for ways to raise the money for Operation Giggle shipping. I would love to sell something that had our logo on it or I would love to sell something that already gives some of it's profits to orphans. Any ideas?! If so leave a comment! So excited to see what God is going to do this year!

Tying up lose ends with the New Day sponsor's...and trying to unravel the new project...
Hi everyone I am excited about the feedback I have gotten since I posted this morning. We have 4 of the Ethiopian children spoken for.
Ejob Tesfay, Yamiakwork Getu, Melat Fekadu, and Bethlehem Tesfay are spoken for. All of the other children are available.
On the NEW DAY front I sent out emails today to each Christmas Family verifying the child you have. Please make sure you get the update and respond to it so that I will know that I got the placements correct. My inbox has been on fire the last few weeks and I have made a few mistakes. I think I've gotten them all corrected now thanks to some really flexible sponsor's. ;-)
I am getting an email together right now to send the Christmas Families that includes the shipping address for the gifts. If you want to help with shipping for New Day PLEASE donate with the button on the side of this blog. We need to get some funds in so I can order the boxes. I will be on the radio tomorrow trying to drum up local support you can tune in by clicking this link: http://www.mymix1041.com/ and clicking on Listen Live. It will be at 8:15 EST. Pray for me. I am a little nervous!
Thank you all for your support and prayers!

Sarah's Hope
I realized that I needed to let everyone know that Operation Giggle is being done as a ministry of Sarah's Hope. Sarah's Hope is a non-profit organization started in April of this year by My father, Jack L. Epperson and I. Sarah's Hope will be a maternity home for unwed mothers over the age of 18 living in Bradley County and the surrounding areas.
Sarah's hope is named after my daughter Sarah. In April of 1999 I found out that I was pregnant with Sarah. I was 18 and unmarried and scared to death. My family rallied around Sarah's dad (Mitchell) and I and we were married and because of the grace of God we made it. Without the network I had as an 18 year old girl I have no clue where Sarah and I would be today. The thoughts of other young mothers struggling alone to bring a child into this world and raise him or her is unbearable. God began to speak to my dad about opening up a home for those girls. He began to have conversations with New Life Pregnancy Center and learned that there was a great need for this ministry. In April we hired a lawyer and began pursuing our Non-Profit status. We are currently saving money so that we can purchase a home to remodel and get ready to house our first 2 or 3 ladies. One of the Pastor's at the church I attended and his wife have raised three children and have agreed to move into the home and be the House Parents.
I am excited at the doors God is opening in my life and I want to serve Him and worship Him in every second of every day. I know that many of you have this same desire! Thank you so much for your support of Sarah's Hope and Operation Giggle.
