WARM Bunk Beds

Well, we thought we would have 30 days to find proper furnishings for our new Womens Home, but due to some hold ups at land titles, we had 10 days to get a place ready for them, including renovations and finding women to move in! Although our waiting list was very long, most women were no longer at the phone numbers we had for them.

We did not have bunk beds in the budget. The rule is, if it's not in the budget, you can't buy it. (Pretty simple!) So, we waited and waited, praying the funds would come through.

Finally it happened! I got the word from the Womens Auxillery executive to go ahead, and I had two other donors say that they would help if WARM fell through at the meeting. (It had to go forward to the whole meeting last night.)

Well, WARM women had a tour of the beautiful new place, and it's glaringly obvious that there are no dressers, or beds, save a couple of mattresses on the floor! The motion passed and all the beds and mattresses have been ordered.

In the meantime, the previous evening, at Grace's advice, I called Marlowe at Castle furniture and explained the situation. He wasn't in, but the woman working for him was gracious and gave me his cell phone. He was thinking about taking his boys to a hockey game but he ended up going to the warehouse and finding us two bunkbeds in stock!

These beds are even better than the last ones because they make into a couch on the bottom. Our rooms are meant to be flexible so that if we only have a single woman in them, voila! They have extra space and a fouton couch to relax on!

So thankful for WARM and also the Lord's contstant provision, right when you need it! (And sometimes not a minute before!)
