A Big God for a Big Family

(the whole Caffee crew)

We have cried, we have been stressed, we have made plans, we have asked for prayer, we have prayed for ourselves, we've prayed for others that were taking it harder that moment, we waited long long hours at the hospital day after day, we've hugged and gathered more than usual, we've appreciated each other on a whole new level, we are shocked, proud, in awe, but together through it all. This big ole family is asking for continued prayers as one of our own starts chemo in the next couple of weeks. Daniel has cancer. You've met Daniel here before, two years ago he and his family lost their home in the tornado that ripped through our town. God protected them then and He is doing the same now! His precious wife Cristina is my hero! She is such an inspiring woman of God!! If you could include Daniel, Cristina, their son Luke (4), and daughters Zoe (2) and Emma (almost 1) in your prayers along with the rest of this big ole family we would greatly appreciate it! Before now I couldn't write it down, it was just too painful, but yesterday we heard a beautiful word! Curable!! That was a HUGE answer to prayer!!! When Cristina came into the waiting room with a smile it made my heart so happy!!! When a family this big unites in prayer, BIG things are bound to happen! We are almost to the point that we can talk without our voices cracking, and our eyes aren't constantly brimming with tears anymore, we can smile and laugh (and its not the fake put on stuff anymore) and that's like medicine in itself. We serve a BIG GOD!!!

My prayers are definitely with your family. The word "cancer" has the ability to instill fear quicker than any other word I know of, but I pray for peace to calm those fears, strength for the days ahead, and for healing from the God who is able to command this storm.

Sam...I am so relieved to read this. My eyes welled up with tears as I read through your post. I have been saying prayers for Daniel and the rest of your family and even reached out to other friends with prayer requests for him. This news has filled my heart and I can only imagine the happiness you are all feeling. Big Hugs to all of you. Call me next week!

It is so good to read about other solid Christ believing Christians :)
My prayer is for peace no matter the outcome, of course while praying for complete healing.
Thanks for sharing this Sam xo

Hi Sam,
You do not know me at all! I follow your blog, but I have not checked in in a long time. Why did I do that tonight?? I really have no idea.....but I think God does. Right now, I am sitting next to my husband of almost 24 years who has been in remission from cancer for almost 30 years. I do not share this often. But when God places before me others in need of comfort and hope(and this happens often) I share our story. Please share with Daniel and his family that there is a family in the Blue Ridge Mts. of NC that is praying for him, his family, and his doctors. We serve an awesome God. Will this journey be easy....NO, it will not, BUT you all will discover that HIS LOVE and healing knows no bounds. God BLess you all,Darby Logan

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
