{ want to BOUNCE or eat some BBQ? }

WOW!!! God has provided almost the ENTIRE amount. We are about 10,000 dollars shy of what we need. Is that not amazing???? I went back and looked at our "adoption account" checkbook and it is so amazing how God has slowly but SURELY provided everything we need.



We had been praying about a specific grant. We applied for it, and prayed God would allow us to get it. Unfortunately, we were turned down. I was very very sad. The very next day, we got an email from a guy I used to work with a Lee Greenwood Theater. (did you guys know that I worked at The Lee Greenwood Theater for 4 years during college? yep. . .i listened to GOD BLESS THE USA 1,000 times) Well, this guy is now an evangelist. He said he and his wife had been praying and they wanted to help us. . . .with a fundrasier. . .bounce houses, food, etc.! I hadn't even seen this guy in YEARS. . . .! WOW!!!!



I was speechless. We had been praying for a fundraiser. . .a BIG one. . .one that someone would say, "HEY. . .WE WANT TO DO THIS FOR YOU GUYS. . " and you know what?? God, once again, answered that prayer.

((((((Here is the guy's site that is sponsoring it. Support him. . . .if you need a speaker for a youth group, give him a call!!!)))))))



So, here it is. . . .our FUNDraiser, that we already know God is TOTALLY behind. It's going to be at Kodak United Methodist Church.....just off the interstate, up the hill on the left, past Food City and Burger King.
PLEASE come if you are local. We are simply asking for donations. Just what you would typically spend on an evening out with your family for something super fun and then food. . . . .We are trusting in God to bring in the rest of what we need.



(there will be BBQ of course, and at least 3 bounce houses. . .all indoors. . ..loads of FUN!!)



Here is our flyer. Please share it with your friends, family, enemies, whoever!

God Is Good. All. The. Time. I just love how He is proving Himself to you over and over. What a blessing. I hope that we can attend - but if not, our prayers will be with you and your family as you continue to grow. I cant wait to see that first photo of you with them. :)
