A HUGE MIRACLE-
During the month of Febuary- we were granted a matching grant of $4000, through Lifesong For Oprhans. Which is funded by the James Foundation(Family Christian Bookstores). We are excited about this Grant. Aaron and I have been humbled with this grant as well. We knew that we would have to send support letters out, and it is soo hard for us to ask for money.
We know that God has a plan and he knows where our funds will come from for this Adoption- so we trust and have faith in him.
Our fundraising for this grant had a ending date , which was March 9.
As we got our email telling us how much we raised- we stand in Awe of God.
The grant we were hoping to raise $4000- we ended up raising over double this amount!!
Everytime I think about it I get tears in my eyes. God continues to show us that he is in control and he will guide us and fund this adoption.
So with this grant we were hoping to raise $8000, we ended up with over $13,000. (including the $4000 match!!!)
We ar so gratful, humbled, and in Awe of the miracles that he showers on us.
If you feel that money is stopping you from doing something God is calling you to, he will supply your needs- just as he has for us.
* Our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Now he just needs to sell a few cows to make this happen*

Another Interesting Month
The last week of Febuary Aaron got kidney stones again. (he had them last year) He spent a week going without eating, and throwing up and in a lot of PAIN. He did not pass the stone- and started having difficulty urinating- and then turned into not being able to urinate at all. Saw a Urologist and Aaron had surgery March 6, out patient surgery and they got the kidney stone.
What a answer to pray. Hopefully we can figure out what is causing this in his body. It is so nice to have Aaron back to himself again. Its so hard to have your husband down for such a long time. Especially when your kids are confused about whats going on. During this week- Whitney tripped at Gavins preschool and fell on her chin and got 3 stitches. She was a trooper- she did great! But WOW what a week we had-
Praise God we made it through- we know that God is with us every step of our lives.
