Unconditional Love

Last night I shared my testimony at our ladies group and I figured I would cry at a certain point because God has really walked with me through some difficult times. But when I began sharing about my “Dad” (step-dad) I began to get choked up.  I just didn’t expect it at that point in the testimony. I knew I would cry but I didn’t expect talking about him to start the welling up inside. On the way home I was thinking about it and I realized I miss my Dad not ever getting to see our kids but then it came to me, my Dad was the one who taught me unconditional love for a child not born to him and now I  can pass that on to my boys! God is Amazing! And you know what is even more AMAZING is 
God’s unconditional love for YOU!

Precious Puzzle Pieces

Cargan’s Puzzle has been such a special project to watch as the Lord has led a variety of people to sponsor puzzle pieces (180!!!). The names and messages being written on the puzzle will be treasured memories for us and such a significant documentation for Cargan to see the number of people who cared to help bring him home. This week I saw God working as each piece, whether one or many was given with so much love. I can’t wait to see how He will bring others to join one piece at a time.

31 Bag Fundraiser

Saturday, we had our 31 bag fundraiser open house and took a look at some nice bags. Thank you to all who came. It was such a nice time of fellowship. Some people got a head start on their holiday shopping!! If you would still like something you can order online by clicking on the 31 button at the right. All orders must be submitted by Sept 27^th. Thank you for your support.

Incredible Gift

THANK YOU,
Evan, Bethany, Morgan and Grant!!
There are times when there are no words to express the gratitude you feel when you have received and incredible gift. These precious children had a birthday party and instead of gifts they took up a collection to donate towards our adoption fund and purchased several puzzle pieces. I was brought to tears when I learned about this gift. We are so thankful!!! It has been amazing to see how God is working to bring our son home one piece at a time.

These precious Pirates are fighting to bring one more home to hear about Jesus!
THANK YOU!!!

31 Bag Adoption Fundraiser

            Adoption Fundraiser 

                       To help bring our son Cargan home from China.

    A friend Nicole has graciously offered to do a 31 bag fundraiser and donate all proceeds towards our adoption. If you would like one of these great bags you can click on the thirty-one button on the right side and it will take you to her site to order. If you are close to Nicole or I, you can turn in your orders to one of us and then the shipping will be a little less than having it sent directly to you. All orders must be turned in by Sept 28^th. If you are in my area on Sept 15^th from 1-3pm, I will have some snacks and bags to look at and would love to have you stop by my house. These bags make great gifts and are also very helpful for organizing.
                   Thank you for your support!!

Prayer!

Last night we received word from China answering our question which asked if Cargan knows he is being adopted. We found out that he does not know yet. We have been praying about sending him a package but didn’t know what to write to him because we didn’t know what he knew. Please pray for us as we prepare this package, that the Lord will give us the words to say to him as this will most likely be how he finds out he has a family. Please pray along with us that the Lord will be preparing his heart for this huge change but most of all that his heart will be open to learning about Jesus. God has created this precious boy for our family and we pray he will come to know his wonderful creator.

Please also take a look at the new page I have called Precious Children. You can click on it right under our picture above. These precious children need our prayers. Charlie is one of many boys. Annie shares more at her blog http://www.cornbreadandchopsticks.blogspot.com/
