Help in Numbers

      Our belief in Luke 1:37 "For nothing is impossible with God" is what motivates us to keep the faith in this adoption process. Last summer, God placed the desire into our hearts to adopt and has been opening doors ever since. We are excited to have been chosen for this calling; to love two beautiful girls as our own and to encourage them to grow in their faith.
     We recently held a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to help off set the cost of the adoption. I have never felt so blessed as I did that day. So many of our friends and family came out to help and support us. 

                                         Awesome Kitchen Crew

 I felt so humbled that so many of our family and friends wanted to take time out of their busy day to help us with something so special. We were blessed with donations toward the dinner such as delicious desserts and awesome door prizes. There were so many people that gave without even thing about it. God has truly blessed us.




These are the gift baskets that were donated to raffle off.





 Hunter and Ethan had a blast setting up for the spaghetti dinner. They got to play while Nanny placed the dinner settings on the table :)





The final touches were added by placing kisses on the tables. Thanks Harry and Karen for that special added touch!!
 







Mouth watering desserts that my friends and family donated for the dinner.


My heart was just so over joyed by the amount of support that was shown that day. Friends, family, and strangers all came together for one very special cause. This adoption process has been truly amazing and a journey that has taught me so much about myself and has given me a deeper faith. We had prayed that God would give us a specific amount from the spaghetti dinner. The dinner was a great success and what was even more amazing is that our church (Community Worship Center) matched the total amount made from the dinner. God had answered our prayers exactly. Nothing is impossible with God!!! This process is long and not without obstacles, but we are ready for the challenge. We are excited to see what God is going to do in our lives through these girls.
      






 God is Good!!!
