I was recently blown away by the story of a family in the area who will be welcoming home 4.. count it 4 new babies in July! A natural occurrence of quadruplets, and they'll tell you that it all started with a simple prayer!
The Offor family prayed that they would be blessed with a little girl to complete their family of two young boys at the ages of 2 and 3! And as it worked out, Chizoba gave birth to one precious little girl, Adaeze which means Princess, and 3 boys! Totaling their family to 6 children and 2 parents! This family needs to be poured into, whether it's by the donation of supplies, an encouraging word or a helping hand.
Here's the full story
Our community has really come together to help provide the necessities that a family needs when it comes to taking care of new infants. Wouldn't we all need the help? How overwhelming and expensive it must be to have to buy 4 cribs, 4 car seats.. those things add up! So we are looking for individuals who would be willing to donate their resources, time and money to help support this family! It truly does take a village!
So if you know anyone who is looking to get rid of baby clothing, play-pins, a van...whatever it may be! I'm willing to pick up any goods!
So please give them my email : mdhamm@ncsu.edu
Thanks so much!

Getting Started
Hi All,
Thank you for taking the time to visit "the simple thoughts of curly girl"! My purpose for starting this blog is to share with you scripture & quotes that are encouraging me in the presence of joy and hardship, sweet memories with loved ones, and the adventures both BIG and small in my life.
This in a sense is something very new for me & I'm hoping it lasts in the long run...especially since my first attempt many years ago flopped! That time of my life was crazy busy, traveling on the road for a non-profit, and truly having to "schedule" time to just sit & be still.
On the reversal, this summer is an exciting time for me, with a lot more free time I plan on actually finishing the books I've started, getting out the glue-gun to make crafts, and spending quality time with my family & friends. I believe whole-heartidly that God has me in this place for a reason and I'm excited to be sharing it with you. Hopefully this encourages you to do the same, to take time for yourself no matter how hectic life my be. It's a freeing feeling to get my thoughts out and to process His faithfulness in the BIG and small things that are being worked out in life.
