James 1:17 tells us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." So we would like to thank the Lord first for blessing our recent Jamberry Nail fundraiser which allowed us to raise another $875 towards our adoption!!! We would also like to thank our wonderful friend, Joanna, who donated her time and her earnings to help us reach our goals. And we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the 55 girls who participated in the event, spent over $2,500, and are now walking around America with beautifully decorated nails. The weeks of the fundraiser were an exciting time to watch our amazing God work through the hearts of so many loving people to take us one step closer to meeting our sweet baby.
We would also like to publicly thank another friend whose manliness prevented him from jumping in on the nail decorating frenzy, but who generously donated $500 dollars to our adoption through the website. Unbelievable!
This brings our total commitment towards our adoption to a little over $15,100, with around $7,000 left to go. God is so good!
One more quick update has to do with out t-shirt orders. We know that several people have placed orders and are patiently waiting for them to arrive. We have been holding off on finalizing everything in order to see if we could get to a total of 25 shirts. We are still a few short, but either way the plan is to place the next order next Wednesday, March 5th. So if you are interested in another t-shirt, have been putting off your order, or know someone who you think might like one, please try to place your order before then.
Thank you again for your support and especially for your prayers!
