Monday, September 24th
- got an email about 3 beautiful kids who needed a home... hmmm.... it came from Ben's cousins who are also adopting a 15-year-old boy from Ethiopia. The kids are about 6, 11, and 14 - we think!
- got a phone call from our attorney saying our lawsuit was being dropped because he was leaving the firm - we had always said we couldn't move forward before the suit was finished.
- starting praying...
September 24-October 7
- praying, praying and more praying...
- some awsome friends donate their used Suburban - the car payment issue was solved!
- Many of the funds had already been raised - we only need 10-12 thousand more. ONLY! :)
- Read Scripture - "I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me…Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me---you did it to me.'"Mathew 25: 35-36, 40 (MSG)
- Offers of hand-me-downs came pouring in...
October 7
- After nearly 2 weeks of fervent prayer... we have decided
- Started homestudy... started collecting certified copies of EVERYTHING! :)
We're Diven In, Baby!
