Wow! God is so faithful! Since the last blog post, we....
1. Were blessed by 38 people showing up to the bowling fundraiser.
2. Were given the opportunity to do a Both Hands project (more on this in a later post)
3. Were given a matching grant through Hand in Hand
4. Received a grant from the Eph. 3:20 foundation (our 1st grant!)
5. Were able to say yes to a birth mother situation, and are waiting to hear back.
6. Had help from Adam's sister Jenn to put the nursery together...we are almost done :)
So much has happened!
So, a little bit more about the bowling fundraiser:
We enjoyed getting to see the people who cam from different parts of our lives; that was really fun! We had family and friends from Bible Study, Lakeview, Living Waters (church),Lake Point (Adam's parents' church) and other communities. It was a blessing to see the people who walked in and were willing to pay a little extra for bowling to support us, as well. We had a boy who bowled for the first time, which was exciting to see. Friends were excited about the items in the silent auction, and we even had items left over to use for another fundraiser. Since we ended up getting the whole alley to ourselves, we even got to have the "cosmic bowling" experience. God definitely showed up!
ReplyDeleteWow back to you! Thanks for sharing all the blessings as you continue your adoption journey! So excited to see the nursery! Lifting you up to Jesus! Love, Nana
All of these experiences are like taking vitamins to bring your baby into your arms! Small steps which make a difference!
