Counting our blessings...one by one

Church family.

Old friends.

Complete strangers.

Family.

Generosity.

Kindred hearts.


When we started our fundraiser, I really didn't know what to expect. I did, and still, know that God provides for us - often in unexpected ways and from unexpected sources.

I will write very sincere thank you notes, but the fact is that we are touched more deeply than we can put into words. "Thank you" just seems too little. But to everyone who is reading this and chose to help us financially on this journey, please know that our gratitude is much greater than feeble words; we are so very humbled that you would join us.

The final total for our fundraiser was nearly $800 in just two months. I don't know if that's supposed to be a little, a lot or something in between - but to US, it is a lot. Much more than we really believed we would raise. But it also speaks to how much people care about us and want to see our dream become a reality of bringing a baby home. We will continue to work toward raising funds through garage sales, grant applications, personal savings and more book commissions. The last two months have been another confirmation, however, that God is providing for us in many ways - including through you.

Thank you so very much!
