Thanks be to God!

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—Ephesians 5:20

It's been a while since we've posted to our blog, but it's not due to a lack of God's blessings on us as we continue on in our adoption journey. 

Since last time, we were thrilled to have the support of our sweet friend Charity who held a Premier Jewelry fundraiser party on our behalf. Through her generosity, and the kindness of many ladies who participated, we received a gift of $550. We praise the Lord for such wonderful friends and unexpected blessings!

We are also thrilled to report that since our last post we have completed our profile book! This is used by our adoption agency to show our information and photos to prospective birthparents. It was much more difficult for us to put together than we had anticipated. The biggest obstacle was finding pictures that were descriptive of our interests and lifestyle...in just the right way. We have to admit that even though it was not easy to sort through so many pictures, it was encouraging to look back and see all that God has done in our married lives. It blessed out hearts to be reminded of all the incredible times we've shared with our wonderful friends and families. God has been so good to us! We thank God for the reminder of His goodness, and for allowing us to finish another step towards our adoption!

We were able to place another t-shirt order in the first week of November. Our goal was to get another 25 shirts in order to keep the cost down. Once again, God blessed above what we were expecting and we ended up with an order of 50 shirts!!! We plan to place another order next month, so if you'd like to get any shirts as Christmas gifts, there's still time. We thank the Lord for continuing to use a simple little t-shirt idea to provide for our needs!

Speaking of provision, we are amazed to be able to report that we are now more than half way to our financial goal. We currently have over $12,000 towards our adoption!!! To God be the glory!

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.—Psalm 34:8. 

God sure is good. Thanks be to Him!!!
