Simple Encouraging Things..and Canvas Project is Under Way!

I have to mention that some really encouraging things that have happened recently...

My niece and nephew were dedicated this morning. Unfortunately I missed it because the little one and I are sick. But I got a text message from both my sister-in-laws, (Kristina and Laura) full of exclamation points telling me the sermon was on adoption! How awesome that the Lord would continue to confirm His will for us! This Sunday most of my family visited this church in order to witness these two little ones being dedicated and got to listen to a sermon on adoption. Wow. This makes my heart happy along with these other encouraging things..


 Following my now 13 year old on Pinterest and seeing all her pins on China adoption.

Watching my six year old, Izzy, carry her Chinese baby doll around everywhere that she has had for a while but has new found interest for...(yes, she is wearing leggings, high heels, a tutu and gloves...this is her home-school swag)

Watching my husband diligently fill out forms despite any distractions, rapping, drumming...the usual...

 

AND just my house family in general..

And so after mentioning all those wonderful things I would also like to mention the great encouragement I have received from doing this canvas fundraiser. It has been really fun talking to people about their squares and what they want on them and getting sweet encouraging emails. Thank you to all who are helping us bring an orphan to her home!

I can't wait to see what this project looks like finished! We have officially submitted our application for the China program through Lifelines. The next amount of money that is due pretty soon is       2,213.75 due to Lifelines. We have about 750.00 of it so that leaves 1,463.75 left to come up with.

Please consider helping us reach this goal and move us closer to bringing this little girl home!
