AMAZING

God is so AMAZING!  We only need 245 people to give $25 each to be fully funded!!!
God is moving mountains through people who are giving so generously. We are so humbled and thankful for the envelopes with donations, online donations, gifts in Christmas cards to the anonymous card arriving in the mail, all to help bring Moriah home. It has been an amazing journey watching God work. My sweet Sarah only asked for things for Christmas to get the room ready for her sister. So after receiving gifts from our extended family we happily decorated the girls room. We are so thankful for the crib from my sister. It is a precious thought that all her children and now Moriah will use this crib. 

We still have room on the So Loved Frame!!

Please keep praying that the Lord will raise up the last 245 people needed for the frame fundraiser or that he will show us what to do next. We are praying for wisdom on how to raise this last amount.

 Prayer is so powerful. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. 

WOW!!!!!

Look at the thermometer at the right!!!  What a jump!  We are getting so close to being fully funded!
We only need 286 people to give $25 to be done raising our funds. We would love to put your name on the frame! We are so thankful for each and everyone of you that have given and helped with fundraising!!  Please keep praying for our paperwork. We keep hitting little bumps but God is Working his perfect timing!!  We hope to have our papers to China the first week of January. When we started the process we should have been traveling late summer so things are moving a little quicker and we hope to travel in the Spring. Please keep praying for Papers to move and for Moriah's heart to be prepared for all the changes that will happen. Thank you all for your love, support and prayers!!

Where is God working??

Wow!! God is working in amazing ways. There is something that really stands out each adoption and for Moriah's it has been watching God work through children. Time and time again we have seen God move children's hearts to help bring Moriah home. It brings me to tears not only because I am so thankful for these gifts coming from their hearts but also for all the Lord will do with the blessing of their giving. I still remember sitting at a baby shower in my childhood church and it was a shower for an adoption and Bethany adoption agency shared and it touched my heart way back then. I can't wait to see how children helping another child will one day touch their lives and others. I got this email from a dear friend of mine who wanted me to know that the large gift in the envelope came only from her children. These words touched my heart and I wanted to share them with you. 

 I told the kids about your picture frame fundraiser, and they were
 excited, and decided to have a collection among themselves, even
 contacting their brother at college. And I bring this up to tell you
that this is strictly their contribution (and they get a dollar a week
allowance, so it is mostly earned income), but also to thank you for an
opportunity for me to see more of my kids' hearts. I can't imagine what
it is like for you to step out in trust and need to raise so much money, 
 but I want to thank you for the privilege you've given us to participate
 in such a great cause. Merry Christmas!

We will have an update soon with all the fundraisers added into the thermometer! 

It has been a busy week! I have been to Harrisburg twice in two days with papers. We now have them complete so our HUGE stack of expensive papers is on its way overnight to NY City to the Chinese Consulate. Please pray they will arrive there safely with all the holiday shipping happening at the same time.The papers are then mailed to our agency and them off to China!!! Please also pray for a miracle that the papers will get to our agency by Dec 21st so they can be sent to China before the holidays or else we will have to wait until Jan 4th!  

Change a life!

So thankful for all the kids and families at our Classical Conversations homeschool co-op!!! They collected $187.58!!! We will be writing CC Royersford on our frame for Moriah. We now only need 487 people to give $25 to be fully funded. 

Thank you for helping to change a life!!!
