Last Sunday we hosted another HUGE fund-raising event and it was AWESOME! We did an Old Fashion Family "Fun"-Raiser... horse rides, face painting, dunk tank, bouce houses, games, food and more.... so many hands went into the planning, executing, organizing, set up, clean up... we are floored by the outpouring of help/donations and assistance we received in pulling this event off.... and then the 350+ people that showed up that day... How do you fashion a proper "thank you"? We raised $3600.00 at this event and the donations are still coming in!!! At some point I think you run out of descriptive words to explain how grateful and thankful and humbled you are. I believe we are at that point!
I think about all the generosity of people during this journey and think... this is the heritage of our girls... this generosity and giving is part of their history... I keep a journal for them (the best I can)... to document this journey and how God unfolded this for our family.... and I can't wait for the day we can sit down and talk about each and every fund-raiser... each and every victory along the way... each and every tear fest and heartbreak...(that is part of this journey too... and God is using those times as well)... I can't wait to share with them- face to face.... about how God formed our family together in a way that only He can! This is not just an adoption of two orphaned girls that live in Haiti... and a couple in America that are infertile. This is KINGDOM work... we have a huge responsibilty to share the goodness... the awesomeness... the provision....the blessings and workings of the Lord with our girls.. I pray we can do it effectively.... I pray that as we continue to walk this path and expierence all that God has for us and our family... that we can effectively share this journey with others and that God will use it to touch their hearts and expand His kingdom!
