Provision

God has provided for our family in mighty ways in the past six weeks, and it's so exciting to share all the happenings with you!

We began our "Give 5 Change a Life" campaign on March 5 with a goal of raising $10,000 in 60 days.  Today is Day 42 and $3915 have been gifted to Wyatt and Jubilee's adoption fund!! 

When you look at our family's profile at Adopt Together, it says that the total amount raised is $7115.  $3200 of that amount was given earlier in our adoption process and was used to cover our agency fees, leaving $3915 available for us to use now.  Because of the generous gifts of so many, we will be able to purchase our airline tickets  as soon as we receive the go-ahead from our agency!!  

We had a great turnout at our Breakfast for Dinner Adoption Fundraiser.  CrossPointe Church allowed us to use their building and was the perfect venue for our dinner.  We loved spending our Saturday evening with so many people that we know and love, and a few new friends, as well. Several friends and my parents helped us set up, flip pancakes, scramble eggs, serve up the delicious feast and clean up the mess.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!  People came and ate and gave.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Overall, we served about 100 people and had a really great time.  The grand total - $1859!  Praise God!

The mountain that was $25,000 tall just a few weeks ago is only $19,226 tall now.  We are in awe of God's provision and are so thankful for all that has been given on Wyatt and Jubilee's behalf.  

We have applied for grants with two different organizations that will hopefully be reviewed this week.  We appreciate prayers as we approach our travel dates!

Many blessings,

Tamara
