Fundraising...

So we are still waiting to hear from India about the court date.  Some of the things going through our minds right now...will that ever happen, what is Haddie doing right now, does she even know we are waiting for her, are we being scammed :-), does adoption get any easier and many other questions.

I was praying about this the other day and the Lord revealed to me that my desire for Him should be similar to the desire and anticipation I feel when thinking about getting Haddie.  I wonder if the Lord felt that way towards me when I was far from Him.  Did He yearn to comfort me?  Did He agonize over the anticipation of me surrendering to Him?  All the anticipation that comes with adopting or really anything in life doesn't compare to the anticipation of meeting Jesus face to face.  Imagine that excitement and celebration!

We are in the process of purchasing shirts for a Haddie fundraiser.  We have them put together but just need to order them.  So if you would like to purchase one to help support our adventure let us know.




The front of the shirt says: What is pure Religion?
The back says:  "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows 
in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you" (James 1:27).
And at the bottom of the back: India now has one less orphan, Thank you
