They Gave What They Could....

My husband and I worked on our last blog post together, trying to share our heart. We are in a season of discouragement. We shared about fundraising and other things...We said that during our blog auction and our yard/bake sale(we had with another RR family) that we had bargain hunters...Please don't anyone take that the wrong way, we meant no offense. God is good and will bless the use of that money to help us every penny helps! When we had the yard/bake sell, we were thankful for everyone that stopped by...some did not buy a thing, but we were able to give them info on Reece's Rainbow, and it was a blessing to talk to them. Some things did happen behind the scenes with our blog auction that know one knew about, not necessarily bad things just things we had to deal with. God has been good and we will get our little boy, God is faithful!! I guess I decided to write this post because I did not want anyone to feel bad at all. We had a comment on our blog....someone said "they gave what they could" I did not want things to be negative so I removed that comment...but it was not really negative, it was good, she was right. I am not sure who it was, but I realized that they did give what they could...YOU ALL GAVE WHAT YOU COULD, and we appreciate you all very much and we are very thankful for all those who can not give, but have supported us in your prayers...We appreciate you all. As for the post, like I said before, my husband and I were just sharing our heart, we have received encouragement from many since then, it helps to know there are many that are praying...and many who do care and some that are in the same situation with fundraising for their adoptions. We are feeling better about things...but still have a long way to go.....we still need to raise money for our USCIS fees about nine hundred ...and about eighteen thousand more for travel. PLEASE PRAY....all the timing in this rest with the USCIS paperwork...we have not filed yet, we will when we raise the fees, but we are almost done with our Dossier, we had hope to be able to send it in February, but not sure when all that will happen, please pray that we are able to get our Dossier there ASAP...God is in control, God has encouraged us and God will provide....to God be the glory!!

Philippians 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
