How cool are these!!!

YES! 
Our documents are back from the Chinese Consulate in Houston Texas!!!


Tomorrow we will put the sealed documents in the mail with the additional couple of items that are needed to complete our dossier!! With that, the paperwork portion of the journey will be complete! The documents will head off to CCAI Atlanta with two very large checks. We are praising God that we have almost exactly the amount of money we need to cover both fees in Michal's checking account.  

After those fees are taken out, we will be left with less than $200 in Michal's account. That re-energizes us to get back on the fundraising wagon.

So, as we sat and discussed possible fundraisers, I decided to check my email to see how we are coming on our www.bonfire.com 
T-shirt design. We have been working on it for the past several weeks and had not gotten a design back from them. . . until I checked my email that is!! Can I hear you say, "it's not odd it's God!" His timing is perfect!! 

God gave me the idea for the shirt. It is from the Bible passage Matthew 18:12 & 14
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish. (Matthew 18:12, 14 NLT)

That is the HEART of our Lord Jesus Christ!! 
HE IS LOVE!

That is how much He loves You!!

That is how much He loves Michal!

That is how much He loves every unborn baby.

He loves that much & I am incredibly grateful for each day He teaches me to love a little bit more like he does!

Praise The Lord! 

We will send more information on how you can purchase one of our super cool T-shirts ASAP!

Successful Second Garage Sale

It was a long hard couple if days getting ready & putting on our second Garage Sale. A big thank you to Holly Richburg, Will Barnes, Glover Manning, Bill & Ann Marie for all there help with the garage Sale!!! We really appreciate it! 

We had 27 tables full, 5 clothes racks & the ground was covered with bags and boxes of stuff to sell! We set all that up Friday and LUCKILY we covered it all with plastic sheeting because, OF COURSE it rained overnight. So even though we had a few leaks, the stuff faired well!

It wasn't nearly a perfect situation, but we ended up making an additional $900 for The Make a Way for Michal fund! We praise God for any and all amounts God provides through any avenue, because He is God & this is His plan. He promised He will provide and He has & will continue to! 

We now have $10,000 of the total $25,000 that is need!!!!

September 2,2013 was 6 mths that we have been working on this & we have 6-8ths left before we travel to China! So, we feel we are right on track!

Please keep praying for us & bless God for all He is doing! Pray for Michal. Pray for her safety. Pray for her to be well feed, cared for and loved. Pray for us as God grows our love for our daughter! Pray for him to prepare the heart of her brothers, Will and Jackson and the rest of her extended family!

God planned for her to be part of our family before time began! His love is  AMAZING!
