Wanted to update that God is definitely at work right now with some pretty awesome things going on!! We have had some very generous donations and with all our income taxes put towards the adoption we are now short $2236.00. We continue to trust that the Lord will provide as he has every step of the way so far. We are so grateful for the experience that this adoption process has brought to us, for the people we have met, and most importantly seeing God at work! We are so blessed and continue to be blown away by the generosity of everyone! Believe me, the hardest part of this process has been asking/begging/pleading for money! We know times are hard for everyone, so for people to give up their hard earned money to help us bring our child home is a blessing and we are grateful and thankful. I want ya'll to know that we are contributing to this as much as possible too, with my second job and by cutting out stuff we don't need. (cable tv, going out to eat, etc)
We have two fundraisers coming up that we are super excited about! We have one on March 10th at the church, it is a "Parent's Night Out" which will consist of us watching the kids for two hours, playing games and watching a movie. Second one is called Both Hands and will be taking place on April 20th (hopefully). This is going to be an awesome opportunity where we organize a team and go help a Widow that is in need. The team sends out letters to their friends and family to be sponsored for the day and all the money goes toward our adoption and is tax-deductible! Check out this video on you tube to see an example of a both hands project, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wvhe9iIGzs.
As far as the puzzle fundraiser, please continue to spread the word! As of today we have sold 345 pieces! The picture below is taken from yesterday when we had sold 135.
