Funds are coming in, praise the Lord!

When we are matched with our daughter, we will have an $11, 000 fee to pay before we travel.  We received word last month that we were being given a grant from Lifesong for Orphans and we just heard this morning from a grant foundation, Katelyn's Fund, that we received another grant!  Praise the Lord!  This is awesome news for us.  We applied to two others but we will not hear from them until September, so we will see what happens!  It all adds up and the Lord knows exactly what we need.

Waiting...

Well, our completed dossier was sent to China on 07-26-13.  We received our "log in date" the following Friday, 08-02-13.  We were told it could have taken at least 2 weeks to get our dossier logged in but it only took 7 days, God is good!  Now that our dossier is logged into China's system, we are now eligible to receive a referral for a child from the "shared list."  This is great news!  Until now, we have been on a much smaller matching list. Hopefully and prayerfully, we will receive our referral in the next couple of months.  Then, I will have a picture of my Naeleigh to show everyone!  I wonder where she is and what she is doing right now.  I wonder if she's laughing or crying.  I wish I could hold her.  We continue to pray for God's protection over her.  He knows exactly who she is and what she is doing right now and that gives us comfort!  Brett prays for God to send her lots of hugs and kisses from us.

We had a small yard sale this past Saturday.  Brett drew a picture of himself and Naeleigh and stood in the driveway of my parent's house asking for people to stop and help bring his Sissy home!  That picture is most definitely going in the scrapbook that my mom is making for us.  It is so precious.  His little heart is ready to bring her home as much as we are.



Thank you for your prayers, love, and support!!
