Jesus has proved Himself faithful in our adoption journey time and time again. We had a goal for our garage sale fundraiser...He exceeded it. We had a specific amount we were hoping to have in our adoption account by May 1...we are beyond that. And we had a hope of where we would be in the process with our adoption agency by May 1...that goal was met as well.
As we began our adoption process, I heard Wesley say to someone, "We are going to work hard and trust that, in turn, Jesus will provide." Jesus has provided thus far, but our work is not finished. We have not met our overall financial need yet and so we are hoping you might help us with the next step in the process through our "PUZZLE FUNDRAISER." This is especially important as we finish our home study and enter into the Dossier & international fingerprinting processes (both of which are a significant financial commitment (5-8 thousand dollar expense).
So what is the PUZZLE FUNDRAISER and how does it work?
We have a 550 piece puzzle that we want to put together. We are selling each piece for $5 (or more) and for that we will put your name on it. Not a big deal and certainly not worth your $5, right? You would be correct if all you got was a name on a puzzle piece and it went in a box, but the super thing about this puzzle is that it will be framed and put in Emma's room with 550 names of people who love her and helped bring her to her forever home. We hope you'll choose to be part of that group of 550.
We introduced this idea a few months ago and are so very thankful to have had 50+ people join us on this journey. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Our next goal is to sell 20 pieces a day by July 1st. Ambitious, yes. Possible, absolutely! With the money received, we will be able to pay for our immigration paperwork and our Dossier will be able to be submitted to China!!!!
Getting involved is easy! On the side bar of this blog, you will see the pay pal logo. If you would like to purchase a puzzle piece for $5, click on the pay pal logo that says "Pieces for Emma's Puzzle." If you feel led to contribute more, there is another pay pal log that says "Orphan to Ours" and you may choose your desired donation amount. Checks/cash are always great options and we also have a credit card reader on our phones, so if you see us and would like to go that route, we are happy to do that as well!
Thank you once again for loving our family and for being a part of what the Lord is doing and will continue to do as we prepare for Emma.
