"God is good all the time!"


We hope you are all having a good start to your week.  We have been hard at work getting ready for our upcoming yard sale/ bake sale/ arts and crafts sale coming up on Sunday, September 21st 9am -3pm in the parking lot in front of Sage Hair Studio in Dawsonville.  Thank you so much to all of  you who have already donated items for us to sell.  Keep 'em coming! We still have space for lots more! We also still need some volunteers to bake and package yummy treats for the bake sell.  We are planning on having a lemonade stand run by our awesome nieces and nephews.  We'd like to have bottled water to sell as well, so if anyone would like to donate lemonade, bottled water, or cups it would be greatly appreciated.  We would also like to thank each of you who have purchased one of our "minus one" t-shirts.  We are still taking orders for anyone who would still like to have one.  Now for the exciting news we received last Friday...we have been awarded an adoption matching grant!  This is such a blessing because essentially what this means is that any money that any of you have donated as well as all the profits from our t-shirt sale and from our yard sale up to $2500 will be doubled by our grant organization!  This is such answer to our prayers.  It is such a beautiful thing when you can sit back and watch God piece together His plan right before your eyes. We are very encouraged by this grant and pray that it will not be the last one we receive.  God is definitely good.

As far as baby news, we do have a birth mom that our profile book will be presented to later this week.  We'll save details until we see how it all plays out.  Please pray for this birth mom as she makes this huge life altering decision.  Pray that the Lord will direct her towards the parents that He has for her child and that she will have peace in her decision.  Pray for us as we continue to wait for our child, and that we will never forget in this roller coaster of a process that, "God is good all the time!"  Thanks as always for following our story. We love and appreciate each of you!
