My absolute favorite part of helping Zach and Danielle fundraise is the excitement of watching God do big things. It's just not that often in life that we get to pray and set out and then see answers. Just bam, bam, bam. :) But adoption fundraising is definitely a thing where you (usually) get to see pretty epic results.

And epic results is definitely what we're seeing now. In the last five days the Ashley's have been gifted $6500! Six thousand, five hundred dollars! Including gifts given to them outside of AdoptTogether that puts them to just over 50% of their goal!

It's hard to even say what it's like and how encouraging it is to watch God's family come together in such a real way. People say the sweetest things when they make donations or hand them checks! Today as Danielle tried to explain to someone how much they appreciate people partnering with them in this way a friend said, "you're doing the job that God called you to do and we're doing that job that God called us to do." Exactly! And I have the easier job! :) Zach and Danielle have to step out and obediently chase down terrifying situations. I get to pray and write a check. One of us is getting the easier end of that deal.

Well, except the Ashley's do get to kiss a fantastic baby face every minute of every day. That part of the deal is pretty sweet!
