40 Flowers 40 Moms

I don't know about you, but my mom rocks! She has been the most supportive woman ever! Tesh's mom has also been a blessing to both of us. (I even call her mom as well). Not only is she a fantastic mom but just a wonderful woman in general. This week's Tesh and Brae day wouldn't have been able to happen with out her help! Since she is a florist, she let us use her extra flowers. AND she helped get them ready as well! Man, she has such a beautiful heart! :) We also had our friend, Marcail, helping us! It was defiantly nice to have those extra hands with all our flowers! Marcail told us that she can now see why we would want to do this every week! Ahhhh!
Wow, we had some sweet reactions! Some were good and some not. Out of the 45 we offered flowers to, only 5 said no. Of course this was disappointing for us but most of them said that it was because they lived out of town and didn't want the flower to die. As we were walking around some ladies would stop us asking what we were doing or "are you actually doing that?" They were so pumped that we thought of them when handing out flowers and that they were free. One lady called us down from the other end of the hall because she wanted a flower and her friend wanted to give one to her client! There were times when we would hand one out to a lady and suddenly there was a line of ladies waiting for a flower! One of our favourite reactions was this one lady who asked if she could have a second one to go bless someone else. As we were walking away, she followed us and told us how she was just thinking of going out and buying someone a flower. She told us how she hadn't seen this lady in a long time and suddenly she found her! She said we were like the 3 wise men that just showed up! Haha!
All these moms are so amazing! They were worth all of the time these flowers took! I just encourage you to do something really special for your mom tomorrow! The amount that she deserves it is crazy! And... To any moms reading this, THANK YOU! You rock! God bless!

Roses! ♥

Hello everyone! It's time for another Tesh and Brae Day update! :)
Yesterday we had the most beautiful weather ever! The sun was out and so were many people. (including us) after spending most of the afternoon cleaning up garbage from the ditches... we quickly headed home to finish our project. All week we had been working on a scavenger hunt for our friend Steve. Steve has put so much time, effort and money into Tesh and Brae Day that we wanted to bless him back. He drove all around town looking for clues! We he was on his journey, we were waiting for him at a restaurant near by to buy him supper! It was really sweet for us to be able to pay him back for what he has done for us. Even though he didn't expect it, we are pretty sure he appreciated it anyways! :)

After supper, we all headed over to Tesh's house. For an hour, we cut roses and made them look all pretty so we could hand them out. It was kind of a last minute thing so we didn't have lots of people on our mind for who we should give them to. After some thought, we decided on 14 people we should give them to! Everyone had amazing reactions plus we got a lot of hugs! One lady was just sweeping her garage and we happened to drive past her. we stopped to give her a rose. at first she was a little scared of Steve's orange crv slowly driving past her house but then when she got the flower, she was so excited! Another lady we went to visit was going through a really rough time. Tesh and I didn't really know her but we went there anyways. when we got to the door, she opened it and was immediately shocked that two random girls would bring her a flower. she kept repeating "You will be so blessed for this. You will be rewarded greatly!" Most people just took the flower and closed the door but she stood and talked to us for almost 10 minutes. While we were there to bless her, she was such a blessing to us.
After a long day of smiling and blessing people, it was defiantly so good to crash. I know I am soo thankful that God is using us in this way! woo! God bless! <3

Hope

"God is using us in amazing ways!" That was the first thing Tesh said to me after Tesh and Brae day yesterday. Not that we don't know that God is using us but yesterday was such a sweet reminder. 

On Wednesday, our small group headed out to the city for the evening. The plan was to make a build-a-bear but we had no idea who it was going to be for. After much thinking and praying, a beautiful, young girl came to mind. This girl is quite sick and has barely been in school and has lost a lot of friends because of all of this. Tesh and I both agreed that she would be the perfect person to bless. As we were on our way to build-a-bear, we picked out the name Hope for our bear. We thought it was a cute way to give someone hope. 

Thursday, when we brought it to her (like most Tesh and Brae Day's) we stopped to pray first. It's always comforting knowing God is with us as we go out to bless people. When we went in, her mom lead us to where she sitting. She was so shocked! AHHHH! Man, i'm so pumped! We stood around for a bit and then we took her out for coffee, then we went and watched a movie. It was defiantly emotional! God is so so good! 

A word of Encouragement

Hey Everyone!!! This week brought EXCITING NEWS!!! A girl who just started at our youth became a christian! AHHHH So Awesome! We are so proud and just so thankful! Of corse Brae and I couldn't just sit around.. we wanted to do something for her! Because after such a high like that.. We knew temptations would be just around the corner.. waiting for her! SO.. me and brae put together a little jar. We filled this jar with some of our favourite candy and also notes of encouragement and Verses that help us get through tough times! That way when she reaches that hard spot she can just read these over and will always remember turn to god! SHE had the sweetest reaction ever! She gave us hugs and couldn't stop smiling! I'm so thankful she's apart of our youth and we wanna be here for her when things do get tough! Hope this jar will Remind her of all the good God really does!

Desert Please?

Sooooo Brae and I... decided to go on a little date night with one of our friends haha ;) we went to Boston Pizza for supper. After we were done we made a note.. and asked our lovely waitress to give that note and a panooki (sorry don't know how to spell that, Anywho its a giant cookie with ice cream on top!) To any table she thought might like one! so she did! she ended up giving it to a little girl and her mom! They were so stoked! Their smiles literally lit up the room!! They were such sweet hearts! I'm so glad we  got to do something nice for them!

Encouraging notes on windshields?? Oh ya that happend!

 SO this week. Brae and I used are lovely writing skills to write 16 encouraging notes. We had no clue who these were going to go to. But we just wrote down anything that came into our minds. Like "You are beautiful and loved deeply" or "don't worry you got this okay?" We even made a couple funny ones! haha that was brae's idea ;) We tried to make these notes look good by using colourful pens and of corse drew some pictures to go with it! After these notes were finished we took them to school. We decided to split up into two groups. So we took some friends with us and went into two of the school's parking lots. We stuck these notes on any random cars that we though could use some encouragement! We made sure to put the girly ones on girls cars tho Haha! :) This was a real fun one to do! And we loved seeing two of the girls post about it! We are so glad we got to bless you guys!

Tims and Windows!

Second post today! we're on a rooooll! kinda like roll up the rim. Which reminds me of one of our last Tesh and Brae Day... days! Tanisha took her wonderful note writing skills and wrote 5 beautiful notes. Sometimes people need to know how amazing they are, and that is exactly what we told them! We took these notes put them in a bright envelope along with a gift card to Tim's and licked it shut. through out the day, Tanisha and I were on an intense look out for anyone needing some blessing. We came up with 5 people who either looked sad or their names just came to our minds. We creeped them until we found their locker and taped it on the outside or the inside. One guy came to our mind a while ago so he was our inspiration for this blessing. He received his blessing hand delivered by the one and only... Tesh. :) The thing that made this really sweet was that we didn't know that some of the people we were giving them to, were having a bad day. We only found that out after! Hopefully Roll up the Rim will be nice to them and bless them even further!

Another thing that we did, was write words of encouragement all over the bathroom mirrors. This time, Tesh had class. (it's okay to cry. we all do when it comes to school) I had grabbed a few other willing people to help me out. We took some Window Writers and started writing things like, 'Don't worry! You're beautiful!' or 'Hey you! You look amazing today!' This is one thing that you can't actually be sure if people are blessed by it unless they let you know. I know, i would at least smile if i saw that in the bathroom. At least three other girls smiled with us! Instagram and Facebook are pretty sweet for that! Pictures were posted and girls were thrilled that we would do that. I don't know about you, but i think that is really sweet.

Blessing each other is such an encouragement as well! One saturday, after work, Tesh came and brought me some flowers that she put together! man! so pumped! I love that girl!

xoxo, Tesh and Brae <3
