And this is our PLEA

Hey everybody!  Well our 31 gift fundraiser put on by Jerri James is now over.  And it raised $400 dollars!!  That was so sweet of her to volunteer her hard earned money and time to help us with the adoption.  We can't think everyone enough for the huge amount of support that has been given to us. 

SO...here's the big news now!  Our case worker got a hold of me today wanting to set up our home study appointment.  It's going to be August 26th (Monday).  That is only 12 days away!!!!  Goodness!!!  I instantly got nervous when we set the date.  So much to do!  You would think that knowing this was appointment was coming that we would be getting the house ready bit by bit so we wouldn't have to rush.  I mean...that would be the responsible thing to do right???  Haha.  Those who know me laugh because every one knows that I am the queen of procrastinators.  I work well under pressure.  I like it.  Ha!  So here we are...12 days away from meeting with the woman who has our future in her hands.  The one who says yes you are capable of raising a child or no you are crazy, no child for you.  haha. 

So, this is our plea.  Pray!!  Pray for us!  Pray for our case worker Rachel. Pray that she sees us as fit to parent a child.  Pray that we won't be nervous. Pray we will continue to trust God through this whole process.  Ultimately HE is the one who has our future in His hands.  Not Rachel. 

We also got word today that another mother has our profile.  As you know...all it takes is one mother to choose us to parent her child, and we know of two mothers that have our profile.  Please pray for those mothers.  Can you imagine the decisions she is trying to make right now??  How hard this must be for them.  Pray for peace for these two women. 

We are so excited!  We are slowly getting closer day by day! 

We love you all
