Thanks to the O Family for a surprise blessing toward the adoption! Yay! God bless! I got to take some great shots of their family today! I hope they like!
Last week, I shared a hope. Just want to document it again to keep it fresh on MY mind. I made a comment that I thought it would be great if we could knock out this next Program fee of $3650 by the end of this month. Please take your attention to the sidebar for just a moment... isn't that wild? How much money has been earned or donated within the last month and even the beginning of this month?!?!!
In the previous post, I questioned myself... was I too ambitious. Not sure what the need was then, but just a few days later, the remaining need is $1,600. We have 21 remaining days in this month! We can do this! I am excited about payday this week to be able to "bank" some money toward the adoption! Also, Ben is going to head up another garage sale with the remaining items we have. It probably won't bring in as much as we did the first time, but even if it were a few hundred, that would be nice! Once we pay for this Program Fee, there are a few various fees for the referral and some costs for post placement reports (that were supposed to be pre-paid, but the adoption agency went ahead and let me have the homestudy on good faith that we will pay for the reports before we go to Colombia -approx $950) that we will need to take care of before we start saving for the travel costs, including in-country fees.
So, goals are good! I look forward in seeing how God provides and in what ways He gives us opportunity to make/save money to help us bring our daughter home!
