I really should be more regular at posting updates because, as always, God is moving mountains of impossibility to bring home one of His Children.
I know I will probably leave out some good details, but I'll try my best to remember... My last post said they needed $9500, but somehow they ended up only needing $6250 for this part of the adoption process. It was a mountain, and yet little by little, it was chipped away...
* A local photographer friend of theirs offered her services for photo sessions, with all proceeds going toward their adoption. The above photo was taken by her...photos in the beautiful Texas bluebonnets.
* The E family also had a yard sale last Saturday, and God blessed it, with people giving more than the asking price for items (and we all know what a miracle that is in the yard sale world!). :)
* They were surprised also with a very generous check given by a friend of theirs who, in human terms, didn't have any extra money to spare.
So, with the fundraisers and God's amazing math that no adoptive family can ever ever figure out, the E family had raised $5000 of the needed funds. They still lack $1250, but their adoption agency has been gracious to let them pay the rest later. God always works out the details...always!
The E family has other fundraisers on the horizon, and I will keep you posted on those.
If YOU would like to host a fund raiser to help the E family bring home Avalyn, please just leave a comment. No effort is too small. No donation is too small. It's like the loaves and fish...it never seems like enough, and yet, in God's mighty hands, it multiplies and is more than enough.
