We are expecting our home study approval early next week and with that comes the dreaded $7,800 bill that we've been telling you about. Derek and I have been praying that God move large financial shaped mountains because there was no way we could do it. We had run out of options- there was no more savings account, no more hours at work, no more side jobs available, and we were losing steam.
We decided to try another Baby Blitz where we give it all up to Him and just be available for whatever He calls us to this week, and to say the least...it's been incredible!
It started with Derek selling some action figures, and then an unexpected check for some yard sale items we had previously sold, and then we received a beautiful donation (thank you!). And then came the button sales....oh the buttons.....
Derek has a 1 inch button company on facebook called DesignBomb and this week it blew up! A friend of a friend spread the word that we could do buttons for a 31 National Conference and let me tell you, those 31 ladies are crazy for anything that says 31. Through those orders, we have been able to raise over $500. Never thought we'd fund an adoption through 1 inch buttons, but what a blessing it has been!
You thought that was the end of Baby Blitz? Tsk. Tsk.
Yesterday I opened the mail and we received a large check from our past insurance company as a refund from the latest insurance laws they passed. Unbelievable.
Our week is not done and God has already blessed us with over $800 in unexpected funds. It's such an honor to know that when we cry out to Him (man, was there a lot of crying), He not only listens, but moves.
