While there, I was able to raise a
little more money. My Grandma, sister, Alli and her boyfriend cashed in their
soda/beer cans (and man did they have a lot). Also, some of her friends chipped
in a donation. Please keep saving your cans!
I just wanted to give a little update
on where Nathan and I are at in the fundraising process. The donation meter
says only $800 raised but in all reality we have raised/ saved $2,355+ (new
payments pending). We are slowly but surely making our goal.
I’m
sure I say this all the time but we are so excited and I can't wait until
October. It has been really hard not to get my hopes up too much. It’s so easy
for me to browse through the infant section of Target or window shop for all
the furniture and things we will need. I tend to forget all the steps we have
to go through before we reach our goal.
From one extreme (me) to the other...
Nathan has been very composed about the whole thing. He reminds me that lots of
things can still go wrong.
1. we don't raise enough money 2. we don't pass our home study
3. a family doesn't choose us
4. possibility of birth mom taking the baby back...
The list goes on...
I just keep praying that God will
continue to show us His will and that we will follow it openly.
Until next time...
