I'm talking about us.
Ten years ago today we embarked on an incredible journey with God that has proven to be the most amazing adventure - marriage. Ten years ago! I almost can't believe it. Yet, today, we aren't celebrating as I had always dreamed. That's because we're packing....and cleaning...and packing...and doing laundry. It's not what I dreamed about, but let me tell you, I wouldn't change it.
In 24 hours we will be waking up to add to this adventure. We'll get on a plane and travel 1/2 way around the world to meet our 5 children. So, while I hadn't imagined spending my 10 year anniversary packing, I'm celebrating inside for the amazing life we're living.
Let's celebrate together! We are just $3500 short of being fully funded for this adoption. I had thought we were only short $1000 yesterday, but I was mistaken. Still...we've come down from a goal of $50,000. Prices got cut on flights and our adoption fees and God has gathered the funds for this adoption. Our matching grant through Lifesong was met, and a HUGE thank you to all those who gave!!! Then this week I heard from Orphan Fund who originally told us to wait and just keep them updated and let them know when we got closer to being fully funded. Well, I did, and they gave too! And. We. Only. Need. $3500. I just think, "WOW, God. WOW!"
