Before I formed you in the womb I knew you

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
-Jeremiah 1:5

Short and Sweet

We have updates! Ok, they're minor updates, but updates nonetheless. First of all, last week we asked for your t-shirt ideas. This week we're asking you to get your t-shirts done...quickly. We're going to need all of your ideas by this Saturday, Oct. 20. I know that's not a lot of time, but we're hurrying you along for a good reason; it's all because.....WE HAVE OUR FIRST FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY! We'll have more details later on, but we're going to be selling concessions at an auction in Salem on Nov. 10. We know we're probably not going to make a million dollars, but we're so happy and thankful to have this first opportunity to raise some money. If anyone would like to come help us cook, serve food, or take money, we'd love to have you. If you can't do any of that, feel free to stop by and see us. I'm sure we'll have a variety of good food for you, plus you can check out the auction items and help out a good friend of ours.
Also, we've started talking to some fantastic people in Kentucky who work as adoption consultants in association with Calvary Christian Church. They've worked with people who have done adoptions both in the U.S. and overseas, and we think that they'll be able to give us some great advice on how we go through this process. Even though we aren't officially "starting the process" until the first of the year, it's so exciting for us to see things starting to move forward. While we know that the things we're doing now are only a drop in the bucket (or maybe the ocean), we know that each small step we take puts us one step closer to bringing our child home. Thanks for joining us on this ride.
