Happy New Year! :) I'm amazed at how fast a year goes by, but I'm so excited to see what God has in store for 2012!
The adoption journey continues to keep us busy. I'm happy to say we have raised close to ten thousand dollars which puts us at the half way mark!!! The prayers and support of many have helped us reach this half way point and I know God will provide full funding when the time is right. The agency is ready to move forward with matching me with a child, so I can't wait for the day when I can call them to say I'm fully funded!
Some of the ways God has been amazing me, have been through all of the various fundraisers, receiving a card in the mail with a check for $750.00, another friend writing a check for $500.00, and then recently another friend stopped over to the house with a check for $300.00!!! :) And if all of that wasn't sweet enough, a colleague from school told her family to take the money they would spend on her this year for Christmas and give it to me to help bring my baby home...yes I have often been in tears because of the outpour of love from those that surround me.
I'm so grateful to be at the ten thousand mark and need the prayers and support of my family and friends for the last ten thousand.
