First of all, I just want to express my sincere appreciation for all of the encouragement that we have received since my last post. So many people have offered their encouraging words, prayers, and help to raise the funds we need to bring our baby home. God has richly blessed us with a community that has wrapped us in their arms and expressed their love for us and our child that none of us have even met.
We are continuing to receive more information every few days regarding our next steps in the adoption process. At this point, we are getting ready to send in our home study application and fees. This part of the process will take a few months as we gather lots of information, have home visits, and compile the paperwork that is needed.
Fund-raising has been going really well! Coffee sales are rising as many people are offering to help us sell our coffee to friends, family, and co-workers. If you're interested in some, let us know! We are still in the process of working on a t-shirt design, and I am also working on a little jewelry project of my own (pictures coming soon!).
In the way of prayers, please continue pray as we work through the massive amounts of paperwork that must be completed. It is an overwhelming task (as some of you know), but I know it will get done one sheet at a time. Also, please pray for mental strength as we travel on this exciting roller coaster ride! We can feel your prayers and appreciate them far more than you know.
We serve an AWESOME God, and the thanks goes TOTALLY to Him!
1 John 4:9-10
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
