What a surprise today! As we near
the end of this journey we have been amazed again and again at the way God has
provided. We are convinced that God truly delights in providing a way for the
orphans of this word to come home to their forever families. He has proved his
faithfulness again and again throughout this process. If you are on the fence
about adoption, especially if you are holding off because of financial
concerns, we say…jump down off that fence and go for it!

Today we found out that Sevenly
is partnering for a third time with Reece’s Rainbow (the grant organization
where we found Aubrey and Micah). If you are not familiar with Sevenly, they
chose a new “cause” each week, design t-shirts to support that cause, and sell
them for a limited amount of time to help raise money for that cause. This time
around, Sevenly has decided to specifically support the Reece’s Rainbow
families who are adopting a child with Down syndrome and are traveling within
the next twelve weeks to pick up that child and bring him/her home. We are
happy to say that we meet that criteria, and we will be one of several families
who will benefit from the sale of the Sevenly products! To see all the Reece’s
Rainbow families who will benefit and/or to support this cause go here: http://reecesrainbow.org/?s=s14.
Please consider purchasing one of
these great t-shirts this week to support the families who are in the final
push to the end of their adoptions! Also, there are lots of other items on
Sevenly as well, not just t-shirts! We are so thankful for this blessing as we
near the end of our own adoption journey.
We are also still in the midst of
our shoe fundraiser. So far we have raised about 2,000 lbs. of the 15,000 lbs.
needed. Today we received a huge pile of shoes from a generous donor…1,307
shoes in all! For those who are local, we will be at Dairy Queen in Meadville
from 1-4 this Saturday collecting used shoes. They can be any kind, and as long
as they are still “wearable” we’ll take them! Every little bit helps us get
closer to our goal. If you could clean out your closet and bring us your old
shoes, we would be so appreciative! J

mountain!
