GOD IS ABLE!



GOD IS ABLE!!!!  When we began this journey, despite our efforts to work extra, scrimp spending, and obtain a loan, we knew we would be short of the funding we needed.  I knew the amount we needed, but it was such a large amount.  I worried about announcing the amount… What if God didn’t provide?  What if we didn’t get funded? I prayed a lot and realized that too often our doubts set limits on what God can do.  So, I decided to ask for prayers that God would provide the full $15,000 we needed.  I set to work filling out more grant applications than I can count.  You all supported us with prayers.  The grants started to come in: $1000 from Rollstone, $3500 from Gift of Adoption, and $1000 from Families Outreach.  Then, we learned that Chosen and Dearly Loved had given us a $4500 matching grant through Lifesong.  We realized that if we could raise $5000, we would have met our $15,000 goal!  We watched, prayed, celebrated, and danced with joy as that number grew and grew!!  It is through tears of utmost praise and thankfulness, we announce that WE ARE FULLY FUNDED!!!!  So many of you through donations and prayers, helped us reach $15,000!!  GOD IS ABLE!!!
