I've been fairly quiet via social media. I've been searching for the right words to share. Finding out just how strong my faith is at this moment in time.
There are many risks involved when you step out in faith to answer God's heart for the fatherless. But, you don't focus on the risks. You focus on the very one who is ordering your footsteps. And our focus remains there. At this time, it looks like the birth mom we were matched with has changed her mind. We may never know the reason, but that's okay. We'll continue to pray for her and baby boy. And stretch our faith a little lot more while we wait to be chosen again.
We are staying with the same agency, which is a huge blessing. We still have funds to raise for the agency and legal, so we'll continue on while we pray and wait. Thank you again to all who have helped us along this journey. We are eternally grateful. If you still would like to help, our Paypal link, coffee and t-shirt fundraisers are still available on the sidebar.
Blessings,
Our countdown continues! With Christmas behind us, we are approaching the New Year and with anticipation, the birth of a sweet baby boy.
We have been blessed so much by those who have given towards our adoption fund and through our fundraisers. It's so awesome to see the Father's heart at work through His people.
Our deadline goal for the agency wasn't completely met, but we are so very close. We need your help in raising the last $1500 in agency fees. If 150 friends could give just $10 each, we'll have it! We're so honored to be working with a Godly agency (a post for another day). They're willing to give us a little more time to raise the final amount. Would you help us bring our balance to $0?
With the agency goal met, we'll only have about $2800 more to raise for our legal fees. Our t-shirt and coffee fundraisers are still active. For monetary donations, our Paypal link is on the sidebar. We also have an awesome local fundraiser scheduled for January 10. A fun night of Blingo Bingo is in the works. Be sure to visit our Facebook page for more details.
Do you make New Year's resolutions? Aside from my usual personal goals, like losing weight, getting out of debt, etc., I will walk out James 1:27 to the best of my ability. How about you?
Happy New Year!
We're in countdown mode!
Countdown to Christmas!
Countdown to the New Year!
Countdown to baby!
Countdown to the final amount we need to raise for the adoption!!
Would you help us bring home our baby boy? We have just this week to come up with the last $2200 for the agency! We'll still have about $2800 to raise for legal fees for next month, but our focus is getting the last amount to the agency in one week.
Our coffee and t-shirt fundraiser's are active. I'll be listing a few items for an online auction on our Facebook page. And last, but not least, our Paypal button is available on the sidebar for monetary donations. Any amount is a blessing! We are so very thankful for all who are helping us bring home our precious gift!
God Bless each and every one of you! Please take time to reflect what the true meaning of the Christmas season is all about and treasure your time with your loved ones!
Actually, I debated on the title being "Amazing That I'm Updating", but decided against it. Hopefully, the news I'm sharing will make up for it.
Well, without writing a whole novel, our big news is that we've been matched with a birth mom!!! She's due January 1st & we are absolutely ecstatic! There will be so much more to share about our story, but for now, we need your continued prayers that all works out according to God's plan.
As most of you know, we've posted all of our fundraising efforts on Facebook and sent out emails. We had also applied for a couple of grants and a no interest adoption loan. We were denied for one of the grants and the loan, both stating they just didn't have the funds to help everyone who applies. We are still waiting to hear back from one of the grants. We also didn't have a specific amount, but now we do and we need your help! We will need to raise almost $12,000 total and $4,000 of that in about a week! Who wants to help bring our baby boy home? We still have our coffee and t-shirt fundraising links here on the sidebar and the paypal link for monetary donations. Would you also please consider sharing this with your friends? We are trusting God will provide through his people!
I will update often!
I'm behind. Anyone else out there know the feeling?
I wanted to start a fundraising ticker with the amounts for quick updating, but haven't been successful.
The 1st online auction brought in $176. The final amounts posted are less than what our total is, thanks to some awesome friends who added a little extra. I consider every single one of those dollars a blessing! I'm gathering everything together to begin auction number 2 very soon. Stay tuned!
"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act." Prov. 24:1
Another wonderful opportunity for adoptive families to raise funds is the Just Love Coffee Roasters. Check out our store's link on the sidebar. They have really great packaging that would make a great gift teamed with a mug for someone in your life who loves coffee. Hint. Hint.
So excited to have launched our t-shirt fundraiser through Adoption Bug.
