No Bunko but God is still so faithful!
Walking by faith can be such a challenge, but where we fail in our humanness and 'works-based' actions and mindsets, HE never does. God is always faithful!
Last week we had to cancel the Bunko fundraiser our friends were having because we just didn't have enough people able to join us. I will admit this made me fret a bit as we are still far from $5000.00 by November 17th.
Then He steps in and I get an email from a missionary family we support in Dubai. They wanted to love on and support us and invest in our newest family member. I can not tell you how humbling it was, how amazing His favor and how loved we feel to have this family, a family that lives entirely off other's supporting their ministry, invest in our babies future.
This same week we received additional support from a family member as well. We are blessed!
I cannot - but He can!
So, that brings us to $1470.00 raised. Thank you all for your prayers and support...we will keep praying for the rest to come by the 17th.
A girl can hope can't she?

The Paper Chase
I'm not sure how most other families move from 'thinking' about adoption to 'adopting'. For us it has been (or felt) like a whirlwind. It is an amazingly long process...I already have a 5 pocket spiral as well as a FULL 3 inch binder! Some days just the paperwork is very overwhelming, and some days, all I can think about is every hour that goes by where I am not 'working' in some way keeps him from being home.
That's why things like blue yarn make me cry.
As I look around and see all that needs to be done to the house before we can pass our homestudy and work to raise the money to even have the social worker here and think about 'when' our house will sale - well, it's hard not to feel tiny.
But tiny is good when next to, say, a mountain. Isiah 2:3 "And many people will go and say, Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach of of His ways and we will walk in His paths."
Makes me think of Veggie Tales, where the peas are singing "keep walking, cause you won't knock down that wall, keep walking, cause it isn't going to fall". Well, silly peas...we will keep walking and I just like Joshua we WILL see Gods glory!
