Improvement

Today we filed our first necessary paperwork to get the ball rolling with adoption. We've been motivated in a big way! Through all our prayers that we have been crying out to God about, he answered a very specific one that was weighing on us and in some ways preventing us from moving forward. You've got to understand, we are by no means wealthy. We're wealthy in the Spiritual way, but in the physical, we've got more faith than dollars if you know what I mean.
Two weeks ago God answered a huge prayer of ours by one of you donating $1000 towards our adoption. I have to admit when I saw that email from paypal indicating there were funds available, I first thought that it was a scam. I thought that someones email had been hacked and I was receiving one of those click here for your chance to win $1000. I was completely shocked when I found that it was in fact true! Immediately I called Cris and shared the news with her and she was equally shocked.
Let me tell you what this will allow us to do: We will be able to officially file our application to become foster parents. We will be able to complete all of our necessary background checks, you'd be amazed at how much they want to know about us. We will be able to go through most of the classes we need to become certified foster parents. And we'll be able to purchase most of the necessary materials we need for learning as well.
We learned in missions that the best way to raise funds is simply by communication. In order to finalize our adoption, we need roughly 5,000 depending all the details. The best part about this is the fact that God has chosen us to do this and we'll have the chance first hand to see God use us to bless a child that we have yet to even meet. Thanks for your prayers and if you'd like to get involved with us in this simply click the donate button top right.
