I have a quick update. There is so much to this story (so many answered prayers) that I can share later, but here I will be brief.
Praises to God #1 and 2
Many of you know that Nathan has a 98 Toyota Tacoma that is steady and faithful :)...but it has over 200,000 miles and if it decides to "kick the bucket" we really believe he'll need another vehicle given where we live. Praise the Lord...we have a small vehicle emergancy fund complete! Now we can focus on saving for the adoption of our future child. We already have some (emphasis on "some") saved as of this month!!!!!!!
So far, I'm painting, ironing, babysitting, substitute teaching for our church's weekday program (we're at New Hope...another good story for later), couponing, and doing anything else raise money. (So if you live in the same area as me and need a babysitter, someone to iron or clean...call or send me a message :)
If you know anyone who wants to purchase a horse...we have three for sale...send them our way. I particularly love Nitro and Dudley. They are very sweet horses.
Praise to God #3
We know that we will go through Bethany Christian Services
Praise to God #4
We're attending our first meeting December 6th in Atlanta!
The next step for us besides saving money is attending an informational meeting about international adoptions. I think its also worth mentioning that this meeting just happens to be on a Tuesday (Nathan's day off of work) so we can both attend!!!
yay, keep the updates coming!!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray and prayers for your adoption process! It can be tiring and overwhelming, but you've met our two boys.... SO worth it! And Bethany is wonderful! We went through Bethany in NC and SC for our boys, but have met some of the staff in the Atlanta office. If you ever have any questions or just want to talk, let me know. We did not do international, but I love talking about adoption! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so wonderful! Do keep us posted! Love ya!
