I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated our blog. I guess with Facebook it seems like everyone gets the scoop anyway! :-) So.....some of this will be old news to many of you, but we are praising God for every step of the way!
We were officially accepted to the Ethiopia program through America World Adoption Agency. We've sent in our first payment, been assigned our Family Coordinator, applied to The Miriam Project for our home study, and started the "paper chase" process. This last week has been a busy one! We have a few appointments this week and hope to hear when our first home study visit will be. It seems like there is so much to do and we're gradually wrapping our brains around what should happen and when. The entire process can be so confusing at times, but I'm thankful for great friends and a great agency that will help us and answer many questions.
Our cookbook sale, Taste and See, has gone great! We've sold over 250 cookbooks. At this point, we have about 100 cookbooks left for sale. Our total profit for the cookbook fundraiser, when they are all sold should be $2,700!!!!!!! We are so pleased!
This morning we, along with our friends' Andrew and Rachel Hancock, hosted a "Walk for Adoption" for our family and friends. We met at Independence Park at 9:30 and most everyone walked around the track once....some did many laps! (overachievers!!!!! haha!) We had many family and friends donate snacks and drinks to hand out. We also had many help in various ways....making signs, keeping track of the donation boxes, and helping with the snacks. God has blessed us with such a great team! I am so thankful for the body of Christ!!!!! I don't have the total donated for this event yet, but we are once again amazed at God's provision!
So, we continue the paper chase and wait for God's direction at every point. We know God is bigger than anything we face through this process! We trust in Him!
