for such a time as THIS!

several years ago when the tsunami struck indonesia, jordan started a project called LEOS FOR LIFE. she collected gymnastic leotards from her teammates and we sold them on ebay and donated 100% of the money raised to help the victims.

when katrina struck, we started it back up again. this time on a much larger scale. we had local gyms, not-so-local gyms, gymnastic manufacturers all sending leotards and we were able to make a nice contribution to the american red cross.

before we were getting ready to move, we had a gym donate a large amount of leos to us. i couldn't do anything with them because of timing and so i packed them up and brought them with me figuring "when the time was right" i would get to them.

THE TIME WAS RIGHT THIS WEEK!

i belong to several ebay selling groups. one day, someone had a question about selling leotards and a woman responded. in her answer, she happened to mention that she was searching for a large group of leotards that would all be the same.

i sent her a message and let her know that i had a ton of leos and wasn't sure what she was looking for but to let me know if she was interested.

turns out she's a highschool gymnastic coach. their team competition leos were stolen and the girls and their families could not afford to replace them and their first meet was coming up.

also turns out that the leos i had were the perfect sizes AND THEY WERE EVEN THEIR TEAM COLORS!

a HUGE BLESSING to them as a team...in return, all i asked was that they do a fundraiser for THE CHILDREN OF HOPE VILLAGE.

so this is truly a WIN-WIN situation for everyone involved.

i'm amazed continuously at the faithfulness of God and how he chooses to SURPRISE us with his creativity! those leos have been sitting there waiting...FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!

here are some pics of the girls in their "new" competition leos! GO MUSTANGS!
