How do you eat an elephant?

I have been chomping away at the beginnings of two big fundraisers, and Jon has been chomping away on adoption paperwork and grant applications.

Meanwhile, check out the sweet play kitchen I picked up this weekend for the girls!!!


I am working with the city now and I hope to announce the 5k location and details in a few days. We are super excited!!! The theme is going to be "Superman was Adopted" and I am organizing it to be nationwide. You can run/ walk anywhere and participate in many ways.

So Jon just posted about taking loans. We may need to do this and we are at a place theologically where we are comfortable doing so, BUT I don't think we will need to. Have you checked out our FSP? God is blowing our minds!!!

I told a friend recently that I feel like a faith-wimp. I think God has plans for me in that area. Hello.

We recently learned that we can actually access our FSP and find out who is giving. I have been telling people that it's anonymous, but I know some people didn't get the memo and would surly appreciate a thank you.

From now on, we will be checking so we can say thank you. I'm not sure if we will go backwards for those who assumed anonymity. Hmmm

You can still give anonymously by putting a request in the comments section.

Thank you to everyone. We are truly humbled and overwhelmed with the generosity and support.

I almost forgot. It looks like we will likely be leaving sometime in February. Mid to late February. There were some changes due to the winter shut-down and we will likely make the deadline.

Wow.

We have a big, fun fundraiser coming up in February that I hope we are here for, but if not then THAT WILL MEAN WE ARE MEETING OUR GIRLS!!!!!
