Holly Shermer and Gail Spradley: Well today we completed our 3 day project of painting 22 bunk beds for the girls floor. When we began we never imagined the flexibility it would require but we can now say we are experts at painting metal bunk beds with lots and lots of curly cues. As we began the project of the  black beds the girls excitedly asked us what the color would be. When we showed them the color “purple passion” a buzz went throughout the dorm as one girl proudly displayed the paint chip color.

We became the afternoon entertainment—Emmanuel Ministries version of HGTV.
As we worked in each girls room we saw the pride and importance each girl took in their special treasures. Pictures, crafts and momentos were carefully placed in their room.
What a blessing to be able to do this small task for these girls and see it bring them such joy. We leave in two days but we pray God’s hands on these precious girls that will be sleeping in these beds.  We pray they will know Jesus better and understand His love for them more deeply.
