So Thankful

I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to D'Lacey Hodges. On Saturday she organized an all day session of mini photo shoots to help us raise money for our adoption. In our Sunday School class we have been talking alot about when we feel the Holy Spirit calling us to do something for someone else, we usually find an excuse and brush it off to "we are too busy" or whatever other excuse we come up with. D'Lacey shared with me that she felt God telling her that he gave her this talent of shooting beautiful pictures and He wanted her to use her talent to help us out! Praise God that D'Lacey followed through. She is the one person that I thought could have had several valid excuses as to why she couldnt do that. One being she has a newborn baby and 2 other small girls 4 and 2 years old. Plus it has been over 100 degrees for the past month and was over 100 degrees on the day she did the all day photo shoot! To make it worse the day before the photo shoot she spent all day at the doctor's office with ALL THREE of her babies who were all sick! But God worked it out and she was able to get some help from her mom and mother in law. D'Lacey spent almost 12 hours shooting photos outside. I am brought to tears as I write this because I am so thankful. D'Lacey was able through all of her very hard work to give us a check for $800! What a blessing! I will never forget what she did for us!

I also wanted to say a thank you to all the other people who have donated to our garage sale, the support is amazing! We have already made $800 just from the furniture items we have sold on craigslist! Our garage sale will be August 13th and we have some really cool things to sell, so if you are in town please come by! We will also be selling cupcakes from Cakery 31! If you want to place a custom order to pick up at the garage sale, let me know, or contact Cakery 31 on facebook!

We have raised $1600 to go towards our agency fees. The total cost of the agency fees that is due by September 26th is $7040. If we do not have this money turned in by September 26th. All our paperwork and fees we have currently paid will expire and we have to start over. ): So I am praying that God will provide this money in time. Please pray with us!
