Well I got my 2nd invoice today from the Agency for a little over $11,500 and we DON"T have that to pay. I'm going to trust in God that he is going to give it to me. I don't know how its going to happen weather I'm going to do it through fundraising (I've been working so hard) Or if its going to be $1 at a time.
Jonathan said he has to think about it this way if 115 people will give us $100 we will have it. It makes it so much easier thinging about it that way. LOL. We were so blessed when we started this chapter in our life, my parents got us started with a Large Sum of money, but it goes QUICK... Jonathan and I are taking every spare dime we have and putting it to the Adoption and I have been Fundraising... Fundraising... Fundraising. I know were going to get this money and were giong to get it quick. I don't know how soon the Agency has to have it but I'm going to believe we will have it before the first of the year! I don't think they can continue with the paperwork in Haiti without this money.
Please help me pray that the money will come our way. I'm not asking for it to fall out of the sky. What every God wants me to do to get it I will do!!! A Precious friend at my church gave me the first $100... We are down to 114 people to pledge $100 to us.
Thanks for letting me put my feeling down in a Blog. I don't know if anyone even reads this or not, but it does make you feel a lot better when you can just put things down, kinda get them off your heart. My heart is very heavy because I know this Christmas my kids in Haiti won't get the things all the kids here will get for Christmas. I'm blessed with my family here, I just know how wonderful it will be once our family is ALL together. ALL of us.. Jonathan, Michelle, Sasha (Phil), Caleb, Kerby and Kerlandy.... OUR FAMILY
I'm in tears. I'm so sad that it costs so much. Isn't a loving family worth more than money to anyone? It's sick to me that people have put a price tag on adoption. If there is a loving family willing to give a person a home and love for the rest of their lives, why are there such roadblocks? Now I'm mad. I'm sad. I'm mad. I'm frustrated for you! I want to help you so bad, don't get me wrong. I am praying and trying every day to get a job...and when I get that job and can get my bills paid to have $100 extra - you know exactly where I'll be mailing that check! I love you and your kids and will do anything to help! Anytime! See you in January :)
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you...I fully expect to be right where you are in a few months and I'll be praying the same prayer and wondering whether anyone is reading my blog, too. Will be wondering whether anyone will want or be able to help...God will come through for you and for me, somehow, some way. I can't afford the $100 right now but I will send what I can...if we don't help each other then what example do we set? Prayers for you and your journey and much love sent your way.
