Getting Excited!

It has been whirlwind of a few months!  Besides life in general and the busyness of summer, we have been preparing for our Both Hands project.  We are so blessed to be able to participate in this project, and are excited to help Ms. Wilma out on August 24.  We had our Envelope Stuffing Party last night, and are getting all of our letters ready to send out.  The turnout was not what we had hoped, but we are praying, and have faith, that God is already working on the people who will receive our letters.  I have a fear that it will become a "One Hand" project...lots of people wanting to do the work on project day, but not willing to do the prep work that will benefit the orphan.  However, I'm reminded of our VBS verse from last week:

For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.  2 Timothy 1:7

We have been blessed in the last few weeks with a one time grant of $1000.  Our adoption agency has already received this money, so it's sitting in our account, waiting until the next fee is due.  Praising God for that!  We're still waiting on another grant application (Show Hope)...we won't find out about that one until October.  

We received some hopeful news from our adoption agency last week about the climate of adoption in Ghana.  We're still in a wait and see mode, but we are the 6th family on the waiting list!  As soon as referrals are ready, it won't be long until we know who our precious princess is.  

In the meantime, we're working on fundraising, gathering supplies for project day, and praying for God's blessings.  If you'd like to contribute to our Both Hands fund, please use the link above.  Please pray with us!
