A Fun and Important Way To Help‏ (Sonnet)
posted Mon July 12th 2010 @ 4:31 PM

There really aren't as many opportunities to serve in a way that could make a huge impact if you're a little kid.  But we've found one! We know you receive a zillion requests, but want to let you know of one that literally saves lives.
We are getting ready to have our First Annual "Trike 'N Bike" on Saturday morning, July 31st in the parking lot of Anderson Mill Baptist Church here in Austin.  The money raised will go to help Breath of Life Maternity Ministries continue to help our pregnant and homeless moms that need us so desperately.

We are setting up three different options, for ages 0 - 6th graders. We will have a trike "course," a bigger kid  bike course (helmets required), and a perimeter for parents, strollers and older kids who want to help. We've been dreaming about this event for a few years now and are SO excited it is going to happen!

There will be music, prizes (Schlitterbahn tickets) for the most raised and the most friends invited, and a chance for the youngsters you so faithfully serve to put their hearts to work for Jesus.  We need your help promoting this and getting the kids to come.  Please go here:http://www.breathoflifesite.org/members/bol/files to download the info and fundraising forms (the link brings you to a page on our website: click the forms to download them).  Because there is an area in which adults and older kids can participate, we would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this email not only to your children's leaders at your church, but to any adult group leaders within your congregation to let them know, as well. Could you ask to have this this information in your bulletin for the next couple of Sundays or even announce this event for us?  It's a chance for our corporate body of Christ here in the Austin area serve together for life.

PLEASE call us if you have any questions.  Our office number is 512-219-8322.  Should you want to know more about this ten year old Austin ministry, you can check us out at www.BreathOfLifeSite.org  We have also been known as "Sarah's House," which is one of Breath of Life's ministries.

What about the Dads? (chiefgopher)
posted Wed June 23rd 2010 @ 9:45 PM

I remember it like it was yesterday.  It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon.  After church we drove over to the campus of the local university and went to a car show.  But it was different than any other Sunday had ever been for my husband, for in his arms was our six month old son, Travis.  He had on a little, white, sun hat to protect him from the bright rays as we wandered from car to car.  I tried hard to act interested in the various makes and models.  But my heart was honestly focused on something far greater.  It was caught up with the lump in  my throat at watching my husband celebrate his very first Father's Day as a daddy. And the gentleness combined with the obvious love he had for this little new "man" in our life was more than evident.

So this past Father's Day was for many of the amazing dads with which we have been honored to work over this past year.  See if you don't see that same gentleness,pride and love in their expressions in these photos.  We think you will.  And to those fathers who have shared their lives and journey with us over the past year, may you be richly blessed by both our Father in Heaven and the little ones who have come into your lives.  Happy First Father's Day.

Many of you know, or are familiar with, one of our favorite graduates of all time, Miss Angela.  She has been experiencing some horrible health issues and is still fighting through them at Seton Hospital in downtown Austin.  She has been lying in a hospital bed for weeks and is lonely, discouraged and could use your prayer and encouragement.  If you want to simply make her day, drop her  a card via our office and we will deliver it to her:

A video from one of our clients (chiefgopher)
posted Mon February 1st 2010 @ 8:31 PM

Ok. I got a new "gadget" for Christmas. And I LOVE it! (Thank you Brian).  I am able to record our gals and little ones and upload it instantly for you to be able to share in all of these amazing moments I keep telling you about.  (It's called a FLIP).  I have wanted for so long for you to be able to see more than just my writings and to be able to bring you "up close and personal" to the heart of this ministry.  Can you tell I'm excited about this??? :-) 

Our first testimony to share with you today is from Rebecca.  She is one of our 2009 Blessings who is simply a joy with whom to work and to love.  She shares her story here with you and gives us a chance to see the powerful way God is healing and loving our precious women.  Enjoy! Untitled
