New Store Update
Wednesday, September 5, 2009WE GOT OUR REVISIONS APPROVED! It was a glorious day! Lindsay and I went to the city on Thursday and picked up the revisions! Thank you Jesus! We’re ready to begin construction again. There are lots of inspections so please keep praying!
We should be putting up the drywall in the next week. We’re also busy working on the outside of the building. Lot’s of beautiful plans! We are hoping to begin painting the outside of the building in the next week or so.
God is good and His favor on Taylor’s Closet is HUGE! Keep checking the website for updates.

The New HQ!!

Can you believe this!!!
Taylor’s Closet is going to be moving into new digs! This whole story is wild. The truth is, its really too much to tell here except for two things:
1) God REALLY has his hand in this ministry. And,
2) He REALLY cares for girls who are in need, at-risk, or just not near Him.
Ok, short version: Several months ago we were meeting with Pastor Alex from Christ Church talking about Taylor’s Closet and the possibility of taking some space in one of their buildings (We’re running out of room in our existing space). We were just kind of sitting there chatting when he stops and goes “Hey, here’s an idea … we love what you guys are doing. What if you took over the whole building?”
Wha???
Finally more dressing rooms so our girls won’t have to wait, at last a café so we can cook for the girls … we love good food! Are we really going to have a big enough stock room? YES! No more working out of our bedrooms, we’ll have a real office. Thank you Jesus, you are so good to us.
So here we are after months of leases, permits, etc. We have begun construction! The whole project has been a walk of faith. It’s a big job. An expensive one! We started the project with a $120,000.00 renovation budget and soon it climbed to $150,000.00. As of July 20th we just have a few small items needed to complete the construction.
Over 35 generous individuals and companies here in South Florida came together and helped us, it’s become a community project. Now we’re moving on to the décor and all the fun details of making this place extra special. We’ll post a list soon of our needs. The stories are unbelievable and have increased our faith.
Thank you to everyone who partnered with us, we are forever grateful and pray that God blesses each of you. We’ll be posting the list of partners soon so check back with us.I’ll post more on the progress on the building project as we go along. This is going to be monumental.
MOVE IN DATE: October 2009
There are 32,000 girls at-risk here in South Florida. We intend to reach every one of them. This new building is a great start at doing just that.
