Project 320

Pain and Suffering
makes us realize we're all broken
& we live in a broken world
Pain, suffering, and hardships
can bring us together,
make us see we're all the same.

I believe in miracles,
amazing amazing things,
can come out of the other side of pain.

Cora's Playground was an example of this.
It brought a community together,
it brought bloggers together,
Cora's Playground was built
and the love of Jesus and the hope we have because of him
was shared with so many people through the Cora's Playground fund,
and Jess and Joel's story of hope and faith.

I wish it hadn't of had to been what it was.
I wish that one sweet couple and sweet family
didn't have to endure that kind of heartache

And now I wish that children weren't dying
That mother's weren't burying those children.

... through the suffering and the pain they've endured
God's love will be shown to others,
shared with a broken world.

I am in constant awe of his love.
Of his grace.

And so thankful for the big heart he's given to Julie.
She has an amazing way of taking a need,
and finding the perfect, most awesome way of filling that need.

Project 320
supporting Charity:Water
Giving to those in need.
So they can have clean drinking water.
So they might not suffer.

Over 300 items have been donated for the prize bundles.
And many have already started giving the gift of water
before the bundles have even been shown.

To Give.
and win.

My first gift this Christmas.

Megan was the one who made me more aware
of the desperate need for water, and introduced us to this organization.



4500 mothers bury their children every day
due to contaminated water.
This is an astounding, heartbreaking number.


For a fraction of what Americans 
spend during the holidays

 the whole world could be 
equipped with clean water.


All donations go directly to the non profit
charity:water, who will in turn take 100%
to clean water solutions in West Africa.


Just 10 dollars will give life-saving clean water 
to one African for 10 years.


For less than what we spend 
on a fast food meal for 2
We can change a life for 10 years!


$5000 drills a well for an entire village.
Let's join as a blogging community 
and build a well in Africa!


Make this your first gift this Christmas Season.




Julie said it best:
"$10 is hardly a sacrifice for me. 
But I know with all of my heart, that $10 will be
by far the best money that I will spend this Christmas season."
