My new job!

Applying for grants is like having a part time job.  If only I could get paid for it!  We will not have our signed copy of our home study for a couple more weeks but I am preparing our grant application anyways.  We have to have a copy of our home study to complete the application.  My goal is to have everything together in an envelope so that when we get our home study I can send them out.

This morning I found a grant that allows me to apply before we finish our home study.  The grant amount is from $500-$2500.  Be praying with us!  The only problem with this new agency seems to be their fee schedule.  We have to pay so much of the money before even applying for the grants!  We are so thankful, however, that we can get our kids so much faster.  It would be great to get this grant which could help us out with the huge amount of money we need to pay now.

We are also discovering a whole list of interest free loans.  These are loans that you receive and pay off with your tax credit at the end of the year.  It is such a cool idea but Gavin and I just got out of debt and have no plans of entering back into it.  The borrower is slave to the lender.  This is not an enjoyable place to be.  It is nice to know that these loans are in place but they will be a very last resort for us.  God does not want us in debt and I am sure he has another way of providing the money.

My favorite website for information on grants is
