Take the journey with us as we travel through the process of adoption via a route that goes through the beautiful land of Colombia. We're so excited to see what plans God has to prosper our journey and that He will allow us to bring hope and a future to an orphan in need of a family! (Jeremiah 29:11)

Stuck in the mud


I hasn't rained much lately in our corner of Indiana, although the corn is already knee-high a month before the fourth of July.  But it seems like there's a deluge of expenses already piling up - both adoption and non-adoption -- making us feel like we're spinning our tires in the mud. We have three important expenses due for our adoption before we can keep moving forward.  We also have three important irregular expenses at home to take care of as soon as possible. It's hard to decide what to pay and what to wait on when nothing can really wait.

Let's face it -- 30+ thousand dollars is a lot of money.  It can buy a nice car, make a down payment on a house, put a child through a year of college.   It's an amount that, in our limited resources, we will never be capable of supplying by any of our own means. But what seems huge to us may seem small to you. Or you may be in a position to offer a sacrifice to the Lord on our behalf.

Will you consider adding your gift to our Milestone 1 account in the box to the left?  We know God has gifted so many of our friends (and even strangers) with both a desire to bless those in need and the resources to accomplish the blessing.  We also know that blessing is returned to the giver like bread tossed into the waves (Eccl. 11:1).

We are trusting God to provide.  Watch with us as He does so that His name will be praised.
