"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3

The First Fundraiser-Huge Success!!



A couple of weeks ago a few friends helped me brainstorm several fundraisers. The first fundraiser was organized by a couple of friends, Brenda and Erin. A garage sale was planned for May 4th. Brenda sent out an email to the University of Central Missouri community asking for donations for the garage sale. I was blown away by their response and generosity.

On Saturday several friends including my parents came to help set up and work the garage sale. At the end of a long day, we raised $1016.85. You read that right! I would like to thank everyone that donated items, paid extra for that treasured item and worked hours on the garage sale. God is awesome and I have wonderful friends!!

Thank You!

Several of you have been extremely generous over the past couple of months. Thanks to the generosity of wonderful friends and family I am 6% closer to bringing her home!

All the paper work was mailed to the adoption agency on March 14th. According to the agency, I will receive a referral in nine to twelve months. It is hard to believe that I will be a mother in less than a year!
