God's Plan

In serving others we touch the heart of God. "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows."
Isaiah 1:17

We are ACCEPTED into the China Program at AW!!

We received the official documents we have to sign and send back to America World. We will soon be getting a family coordinator to begin the Dossier process. We are so excited and can not wait to have our little girl!! Ofcourse, that could be over a year from now. But we know God will be faithful to us and to her. I know He is watching over her for us now and forever. We are going to name her Khloe and keep a portion of her Chinese given name too. We are so excited and are ready to get things moving. Please pray for us as we go through this "paper chasing" phase and pray that the money will be there when we need it. We will be holding many fundraising opportunities for everyone to be involved with bringing home this precious girl. Thanks!!

We are having a Yard Sale

We will be having a yard sale at our home on June 30th through July 2nd. Please come by and find something you "need" or want. We will be having several furniture pieces, odds and ends, boys clothes, ladies clothes, mens clothes,etc. I also have a very nice bedroom set I would like to sell but have to get a certain amount for it, it is extremely nice!! All the proceeds from this yard sale will be going to our adoption fund. If you have anything you would like to donate to our yard sale we will be glad to pick it up as long as it is in descent shape and saleable. Please pray we make atleast $1000 at this sale. We will need this money at the beginning phases of our adoption. (First phase will cost around $6000.) When we have an approved home study we can then ask for donations which will go to the agency in our name and you can use these as a charitable donation and take it off taxes when tax time comes. Thanks, we are SO EXCITED!!!! Please join with us in bringing Khloe home either by prayers and/or financial support! Thanks!!!!!

James 1:27 God's View on Orphans

"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
