The Red Letters

For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me. Matthew 25:35-36

Pancake Fundraiser

I am still in awe of how God showed up in such a wonderful and profound way on Saturday.  After  weeks of preparing, planning, and praying our first large fundraiser is over and completed.  We personally want to thank our life group and our parents for coming out so early in the morning to help us.  We also want to thank and brag about our three boys. They were awesome helpers and willing workers.  Our boys were the waiters and I am happy to report we did not have any spills.  Our breakfast started at 7:00 a.m. and ended at 10:30 a.m..  When no one showed up until 8:30 we were getting nervous (I have to admit).  However, at 9:00 it started to pick up.  We served 50 people breakfast! The fundraiser made close to $1,000!  We should have only made $200 if everyone had paid what was asked.  This amount would not have covered our expense, however, God showed up!  God had who he wanted to be at our breakfast.  We are so thankful to God for taking care of us and our daughter! Thanks God you rock!

One Week Away

We are one week away for our biggest fundraiser!  Please Please help us by spreading the word.  Please email, facebok, or tweet your friends.  This is a great opportunity to have breakfast with your life group or friends.  We have not set a goal because we trust that God will truly come through.  Remember Saturday October 29 from 7:00a.m. to 10:30 a.m. All You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast at Holland Park in Fishers.  We would love to see you there.  If you would be interested in volunteering please let me know.  Please pray for our family during this time.  We are far below our goal needed to make the next step in our adoption happen.  We are around $2700 dollars short.  God Bless to everyone

Immigaration Here We Come

Thank God our home study is done! On Thursday of this week we mailed out our application to immigration. We have completed one step on our journey and beginning another.  Wow this process has already been full of ups, downs, stop, and goes.  Our hearts are so thankful that our heavenly father has been with us every step of the way.  It seems at every turn our faith has been tested by trusting in God and not ourselves.  I have some exciting news to tell everyone.  our next fundraiser has been scheduled on October 29th we are having an all you can eat pancake breakfasts.  Please tell your friends or anyone you know how this will help bring our little girl home.
