Grateful and Humble Hearts

The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3

This is the verse we had printed on our wedding invitations. In just a few weeks we will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. Even before we began our life together, Aaron and I knew the Lord was doing a mighty work in us. We had no idea how amazing it would be though!

With grateful and humble hearts we would like you all to know that we are fully funded! The amount anticipated to complete both adoptions has been provided! What if we had missed this? What if we had let the fear and doubt grip our hearts? What if we had said no, we can't handle two children, or the extra expense, or the extra noise :)? His blessings are abundant when we obey. He was calling us to these two children...it is so very clear. And the blessings have been poured out upon us before we have even held them. 

Thank you! Thank you for showing your love for us through your giving. I would love to throw a big o'le party and invite every single one of you :)

We continue to prepare for the yard sale this week. The money raised through the yard sale will provide a cushion for us as ticket prices seem to be rising as we get closer to May and June. If there is any money left once we have traveled, please know we will happily be donating this to another adoptive family. To God be the glory!
