Prayer Request...Something New.

We are so blessed!

That is the first thing that popped into my mind when I started writing this post.

We have three beautiful kids and could not be happier.

 

We have had a few issues with our business lately.  As most of you know, we are self employed.  My husband is a contractor.  I have to admit that we have been starving the business a little throughout this adoption process.  We have been putting everything we have into the adoption and not putting any money back into the business.  Things are starting to break down and need to be replaced...so it is time for us to put some money into the business.

 

This decision was difficult for me but necessary.  We are so close to being fully funded!  We only need $10,000 more for the agency expenses and then about $8,000 for travel.  We need prayer for provision yet again.  God provides every time and we LOVE watching ours and your prayers be answered.  We still have a few grant applications out there.  We are still selling sheets.  We are going to do another yard sale.  We need prayer over all of these things.

 

We have also been praying about hosting a child from Ethiopia while we wait for our kiddos to come home.  Our home study agency has an amazing hosting program.  The program does cost money.  We feel convicted that we need to have paid all of the agency fees for our adoption before putting money into a hosting program.  If we are going to accept a child into our home for the month of August, we will need to apply next month.  We are praying that if we are supposed to host a child, we will be able to pay all of our agency fees in one month.  At that point, we would still need God to provide the money for the host program.

 

Just a reminder, we have a separate account for money that is donated by all of you wonderful people.  It will never be used for anything but the adoption of our two kiddos.

 

Please keep praying for our family. 

Your prayers are make a difference and are important to us!
