....and down the stretch they come!

As most of you know, we are nearing the end of the process to bring home our 2 daughters from Ethiopia... in less than 6 weeks, we'll be traveling to Ethiopia to adopt them and make them legally ours, and then the real journey begins!!  (I really never imagined us with 6 kids! ;) )

You may also know how expensive the whole process is: from the beginning, our goal has been $40,000 to bring them home.  Now that we're in the home stretch, we're just at $7,000 short of our goal.  The Lord has graciously provided for every step of this journey-- truly, from the very first payment and form we submitted, the Lord has provided exactly what we've needed.  We have had countless friends and family-- even complete strangers-- join in writing our adoption story and for that, we are eternally gratelful.

November is National Adoption Month, and this Sunday is Orphan Sunday.  Many of you will hear stories at your churches about orphan care, adoption, and fostering programs.  You may see facebook posts about orphan care, or you may read articles about the fatherless.  You might see pictures of orphans across the world, some in the US, and maybe even some right in your own community.  Many will touch your heart; some stories and photos may even stir you get involved in orphan care in some way (hopefully!)

We have an opportunity for you to be part of directly saving the lives of two very special orphans-- two little girls waiting to come home to their forever family.  We are asking that you prayerfully consider helping us in this final "home stretch" .... the final $7,000 is all we need to get our girls home!

I stand amazed at the Lord's grace, His kindness, His provision; I have been, and continue to be, completely overwhelmed at how we have seen and felt His hand on our family throughout this entire journey.  We continue to thank God daily; our lives are truly Ephesians 3:20-21! 

To God be the glory!!
