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!
