Hello everyone!
Its been way too long since I posted an update! The holidays and then getting extremely sick just stopped me in my tracks!
Now we are nearly well and getting a handle on being back to work and school, I'm finally am able to breathe a tiny bit and give an update on our adoption process.
To date we have fund raised $1,040!!!! That's exciting news! To break it down, those amounts came from:
Pure Charity Crowd Fundraising: $720
Christmas Roll Fundraiser: $320
So here's where our numbers are for our first deadline February 20th.
$2,400 (due Feb. 20th - first deposit down to American World Adoptions)
$1,040 currently raised
$900 our contribution from savings
$200 VISA card I earned from a Christmas Verizon deal
$2,140 TOTAL
$360 Shortfall
We are SO CLOSE!! Here's the good news - AWAA will let us do this in two payments if we need to. Even so, we prefer to stick to the deadline and not change it. That and the 5 months from March till July I have money budgeted to help us finish most of phase one (in other words there's not any money there to make up for this shortfall in the following months).
We are BELIEVING that God will come through - one way or another!Beyond the money, we are also working on getting our house ready to pass an inspection. That means finishing our family room (its open beams right now - yeah, no drywall!). I'll post more on that later.
In any case, we are getting so excited to see God move and work this year! He's good - He's called us - He will provide!!
