It's official. We've lost our minds! Or perhaps Adam would say I've lost mine ;-)
After talking, praying, and researching...we've decided to pursue adopting from Uganda!
And as expected, ever since this decision things in our home have gone nuts!
The day after we decided on Uganda, Adam's truck broke down. The day we decided on an agency and printed the application, we received a random $500 bill. It has been made clear to us that the devil hates this cause!
But, we are pressing on. Plugging away selling everything in our home, having yard sales and brainstorming fundraisers. The thought of raising $27,000 is stomach turning for us, of course we don't have $27,000! God funds what he favor, and we are believing that he is going to provide for us every step of the way. We've never had to depend on God for something THIS big, it's kind of exciting.
“But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.” -Francis Chan
So here we go! We are raising $3,000 before we send in our application. Application fee , part of the agency fee, and the home study fee is all due in the first week that we begin. We're in no rush- we know God will provide, and when he does we are ready!
Stay tuned for fundraising updates, and please keep us in your prayers! :)
