Our country was founded on the desire to have freedom of religion. Our fore father's believed and trusted in a God who could do all things. Why is it that so many years later we don't Trust in God? The one who died on the cross for our sins. He gave up all for you and me, but we can't give up simple things for him. I say all of this because I realized that I had not given all my trust to him regarding Baby #2. I know he can do all but I don't allow him.
We had some great services at church yesterday and they have renewed my Faith and trust in the Lord. We have so many that we want to see saved and so many things we want to see done that there is no place to stop. We can't continue to shoulder all the worries of our adoption on our own. We know that we need prayers and we know that these prayers will be answered in God's timing. We ask everyone who prays to remember us and that God's will be done in our adoption.
We are still working on some fundraiser ideas and will be doing another yard sale in the spring. We have about $5000 more to raise and could use any help or ideas you all may have. We have applied through a new donation organization that will be able to take donations through the internet and they will be tax deductible. I will post more info as I get it.
Psalm 56:9-11 KJV
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Great Things in 2013
We all try to make resolutions at the beginning of each year. This year I'm not making resolutions, instead I am turning all my worries over to a higher power. It's almost been a year since we decided to start the adoption process and we are still holding on, Matt more patiently than me most days. We are depending on Gods timing and know if we depend on him our child will come into our family right on time.
Since it has been so long since my last post I wanted to let everyone know how things have been going.
The chili supper went very well. Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed a bowl of chili and some great entertainment by my good friend, Brad McCrady. Thanks to our parents and all of our friends for all the help to make this event a success. We raised over $1400 and are that much closer to our goal.
The holidays came and went like a flash of light. They were great and we are so blessed. Clayton got all he wanted and more. We spent two great weeks off work and school. It was great family time and I look forward to more this year and to hopefully have an extra person in our family.
On the adoption front not a lot to talk about. We have had a couple of situations come up but we were not chosen or it was out of our budget. Yes we have an adoption budget. Some cases are more expensive than others, so we are waiting patiently for our child. We ask for your prayers if we cross your mind.
We are looking for new fundraising ideas. We need to raise between $4000 & $8000. We are still waiting on one more grant that will not consider our application until We are matched. So we are going to start planning some new fundraisers, but we are looking for any ideas. So if you have an idea let us know. We still have Dominos buy one get one free cards for$10, if you are interested in purchasing one email us and we will get one to you.
So no resolutions this year, only faith in God's timing and trust in his path. Our child is in His hands and I am so thankful for that. Great things to come in 2013!
