We returned home this afternoon from being out of town for a few days to find a sweet little jewel in the mailbox awaiting us...OUR HOME STUDY! It is finished and in hand!!! As soon as I opened it, the anxious longing to meet and hold our awaited child overwhelmed me. I can not convey the excitement we are feeling right now as we are inching closer and closer.
God has been so faithful to us through this whole process and I absolutely can not proclaim that enough! He has immensely blessed each fundraiser with precious details that will remain dear to our hearts for the rest of our lives. God has gifted us with such wonderful friends and family who continue to run to our aid in each of these endeavors. We are so humbled at the way people have poured themselves out to help meet our needs, and to God be all the glory!
Now that we have finished our home study, our next hurdle is the largest hurdle in this process. We still have A LOT of money to raise and at this point that is all that is standing between us and matching with a child. We are tossing around a few more ideas of fundraisers, sending out grant applications, and working hard to save. Please pray for God to multiply these efforts as we continue trusting that He is going to fund what he so obviously favors in His Word! To Him be all the glory and fame and thank you from the bottom of our hearts if you have aided us through giving, purchasing, helping and or sacrificing time or things. Words will never be adequate enough to convey our heartfelt gratitude!
"I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your Truth from the great congregation."
Psalm 40:10
