Finding time to reflect is a hard thing to do these days. So I am committing to posting one refection from this last year, each week, until the new year.
Reflection #1
Since we have been home I have not truly taken time to reflect on the last years happenings! What an AMAZING year it has been! At the beginning of 2011 we were still not sure that we would financially be able to bring Stella and Benjamin home. We took a huge leap of faith (some would call it reckless and financially irresponsible) and it was humbling to see God move through HIS PEOPLE!
We had to have almost $35,000 in 11 months. By extremely cutting back our personal expenses and the generosity of so many people we were able to have all of our adoption bills paid off. Minus the cost of our flights we put on a card but we were able to pay that off shortly after coming home.
I still feel the love and support of the community that came together and rallied for our family to bring us together! And to all of you THANK YOU! Thank you just does not even begin to touch they way I feel toward all of you who were obedient to God's call to help us to protect and love the fatherless, with out you all we would not of been able to bring 2 of God's precious children into our home.
Thank You Everyone who helped us financially and through prayer!
