I just wanted to share our recent blessings from our Church.
On, February 1st the Church had a breakfast to kick off the 40 days in the Book of John and at this breakfast, they chose to give us half of the donations for the adoption! As well as a donation from the life groups! As if that wasn't enough of a blessing, we were then told that our friends had really had a burden on their heart for us and the adoption and they organized a Chili Cook off fundraiser. There are 6 life groups that are willing to make Chili and cornbread for this Saturday, Feb. 22 from 3-6pm at Brevard Community Church. The money raised will be split between us and another family adopting. We are just so thankful how God continues to provide through people! We are thankful to everyone who gives so much of themselves to help us bring home Baby Pack! :)
We also had a couple, who has already given so much to help us bring our baby home, who donated more to us. They just recently had a baby of their own and they choose to give us money for our baby rather than putting it towards their own leaves us speechless. God is doing some pretty amazing things!
Here is an update on what is going on with the process...
We had appointments
scheduled in January to have our fingerprints done but they were closed that day
due to snow. We called and they said they would send us another
appointment day. W e called again to
let them know they were going to be expiring on the 28th but as of yet we haven't heard back. So, we don't really
know what is going to happen with this. We could really use prayers that Homeland Security sends us a appointment time before the 28th!! Allan goes for his physical tomorrow and I have mine next month and then we will have all our updated documents ready to be sent in for another home study visit.
Oh, and the snow ruined our adoption sticker on the back of my car, so we are going to have to take it off. :( We hope to find another one so we can continue to get the word out about our adoption and share our testimony of what God is doing!

My friend, Erica came over the other day and she helped me find a few more puzzle pieces. This puzzle is super hard, she agreed after trying to help!
