Dear friends,
The Christmas season is upon us, December is all about hope and peace for us. When Christ was born, he came to give us all a new life in HIM and offer peace to those who believe in Him. As we pray for our adoption fundraising and our little girl we are energized by the concept of hope as it has absolutely no limits.
We are blessed today to have been encouraged in an unexpected way- check out our fundraising thermometer to see where we are! Josh and I had set a goal of being 1/2 way to our fundraising goal by Christmas. That is only $6,000 away! I know it is easy to look at that and say, "wow, $6,000- that is a lot!" However, we don't look at it that way- We look at our goal as, "God, WHEN this is your will, help the support to come. We will trust in YOU alone." Thinking about fundraising in this way brings us great peace.
It would be amazingly, fantastically, wonderfully miraculous to us if we got to the half way point for Christmas. However, regardless of where we are with fundraising on Christmas Day we will be making a fun announcement. We have chosen our daughter's American name and have decided to share it with you all on Christmas Day, so that you can begin praying for her by name with us. Her first name at birth will be a part of her middle name after adoption, but, we will give her a new American first name & middle name. (Yeah- it will be a bit of a long name) :0)
Thank you so much to all of our family and friends who have been there for us during this journey so far. Our hearts overflow with gratitude and we are energized by the hope you bring.
Love,
Josh, Amber & Noah
