After some working out some of the kinks in our next project, I think we are ready to proceed! The idea behind this project is like a walk/jog-a-thon. We will be sending out letters to our friends & family to sponsor us by donating to our adoption fund & in return we will be working on a widows house. So instead of walking or jogging for a certain distance, we will be helping her with various things that need to be done. Some of the things we have talked about are trimming trees, painting the garage floor, & painting/making a toy room downstair. I have not asked her permission to reveal who she is so I will be leaving that information out as of now. This has been a hard concept to explain to people so I hope that everyone understands how we hope this will work. We knew from the beginning that this adoption journey isn't just about us & want we want to accomplish. This project gives us the chance to raise money & help someone who needs our help.
The focus behind this comes from James 1:27-"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
We ask you to continue praying for us that this project will be successful & that God will show His favor on us. We hope & pray that God will receive all the glory!
Only By God's Grace-"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act"-Proverbs 24:12
