Gratefulness and The Great Wolf Lodge

The paperwork is done and now we wait....wait to be matched up with a baby girl, wait to go to Ethiopia to adopt her, then wait to bring her home. While we wait, we wait expectantly, as we watch the Lord answer prayer and grow us and stretch us in ways we have never known. 

Among the prayers we cover our baby girl in, are also prayers for the Lord to provide financially. It is no secret that the financial burden we bear is GREAT! But its not too big for our GOD! He has called us to this....asked us to go rescue one of his children from a life of poverty, starvation, and a life where she would probably never hear of His name. 

Because of YOU... all of our dear friends and family that have chosen to give and lift some of this financial burden from us.....this child has will never know what it is to beg for food or water, or see the spread of AIDS that plagues her country, or know the heartache of losing loved ones to starvation, sickness, and disease. 

For those of you who think your gift was "not much". Please KNOW that we rejoice and are humbled over every dollar that is given to our daughter. YOU are helping save her from a horrible life that she will thankfully never know. She will know HOPE and LOVE. 

Like when Jesus fed the 5,000 with just a few loaves of bread and fish, He is using your dollars to do GREAT THINGS! The Lord just asks that we have faith and give what we have. Thank you for being like the little boy who gave even when it didn't seem like much. When just a few dollars is given with a sacrificial heart, it is multiplied when others are giving sacrificially as well.....the Lord can do more than we ask or imagine. 

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us..." Ephesians 3:20
