We have our BIG Fundraiser on January 29 from 12:30-2:30 at Outback Steakhouse in Grandville, MI and I'm really scared that we won't reach our goal of selling 150 tickets. Times are tough right now and it's hard asking for help, but I have to believe that we will be OK no matter what the outcome. I keep praying that we start receiving phone calls regarding tickets, but so far...not very many calls have come in and the last thing I want to do is guilt our family and friends into coming. I put up some posters at work and I've been very surprised at some of the reactions I've been getting. Most people look at it and then look away really quickly and don't say a word, others read it and then say "good luck" and some ask questions and then say "so happy for you, hope you get what you need." I'm very tempted to take down the posters because of how uncomfortable it is, but I will leave them up and see what God does. I just have to keep praying and letting go, because I know that I can't force anyone to come...I will leave this in God's hands.
We are moving along very quickly with this adoption and should be hearing some news shortly about where we are on the waiting list. We are so excited and can't wait to fill our home.
Please keep praying with us.
