Wonderful Opportunity

This afternoon I was checking in on some of the blogs that I read. One of my favorites is http://www.storinguptreasures.com/. They are doing an amazing thing for families in the process of adopting. It is called "10 for 20". They are trying to raise $10,000 in 20 to help out 26 families. All that was required was to put a link to our blog, do a post on their event, & donate $5. We are 1 of those 26 families on that list. They themselves have adopted several kids & want to help pay it forward. There will be 1 family who will randomly be awarded a larger amount but everyone will receive at least something. We are asking anyone who would be willing to help them raise this amount to help so many families bring their little ones home to go to their blog & consider making a donation. No matter the amount, it is still giving in God's eyes. If all of us do a little, we can accomplish so much!

Brian & I have actually talked about what we would like to do when we finally reach our goal financially to finish our adoption. We have been trying to come up with ways to give back & to "pay it forward" for everything that we have received. We have opened our hearts to a child in need but we by no means have the money to pay for this in full yet. We had to rely on God to give us the avenues necessary to complete this adoption. He has been showing us that He is all over this process. Not for 1 second do we believe that any of this is our own doing. We know God funds what He favors & we know from scripture that He favors adoption. We are adopted by Him & He shows us so lovingly the perfect example of what it is supposed to look like. We hope that we when are finally placed with our little one, that if there is a family out there that has this same desire but feels that money is the only thing holding them up, that we might be able to give that encouragement that there are people out there willing to give of their time & money to support them.

Please join me in prayer for God's blessing on this family that has been so gracious to help numerous families bring their children home!
