Let's Talk About the Fundraiser

I want to take a moment to talk about our fundraiser. Yes, I would love your support. And in case you were wondering, you can visit our fundraising site by clicking on the logo. You could also help us out by posting the link on your blog. We are really hoping this will be a strong fund raising effort for our adoption.

But more than talking about the mechanics of the fundraiser, I want to talk about the blessings. Ya' see, we are just this ordinary family from the Midwest. We aren't famous people - just children of God who have been blessed with a house full of kids - and loving every minute of it. But the amazing part about this fund raiser has been the people that God has allowed to bless our family. Here's some examples - my husband called one of our local radio stations and told them about the raffle - within a day we had received a call from Ruth's Chris steakhouse with a donation. Here's the real cool part, they don't even know us, but were led to give. WOW !! Another example - I sent an email to the contemporary Christian group, Casting Crowns. Within just a few days, we received an email from them, offering to help. O.K. and one more - I sent a message to Kurt Warner's foundation - the same day I got a call from them offering to help. Did I mention that these people do not even know us - but they have chosen to come along side of us in this effort. Each donation we have received has a story just like this. People who care enough to see a little girl come home. I feel so humbled that God is allowing me to be a part of this. He has an amazing plan - I just can't wait to see it all unfold.

Till later...
