Blessed Beyond Words

Today was the day!  We had our pancake feed fundraiser that I have been bugging all of you about!  Ha!  It was so much fun to get to see everybody come and just hang out and eat breakfast with us!  So several people have already asked how we did today.  In our heads we were shooting for a total of like 500 dollars.  We thought that was probably a good estimate for a pancake feed and I really felt like we could maybe make it to $500.  Well....we didn't get $500, but don't worry we aren't disappointed....because the total was $1300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  REALLY???  I mean REALLY!?!?!?! Why is this such a theme in my life???  Why do I get so surprised when God totally blows my expectations out of the water??  Tears come to my eyes when I think about the love that my community of family and friends have for us!  You all are seriously just making me speechless because it's not something that I can comprehend.  I truly pray that God blesses you all doubly for the blessing that you all have been to us.  Despite everybody's busy weekend activities we had an awesome turnout!!  I promise you all that as our child grows up he/she will know that this community is what made all of this possible.  It takes a village right?

So here we are...still waiting.  Our agency has contacted us twice within the last 3 weeks about 2 different birthmothers who are desperately trying to make a decision about choosing a forever family for their baby and we were asked if we would like to be presented to them and of course we said yes.  We aren't sure if anything will come out of it.  It may and it may not...we just wait and see.  These are the things that keep us going.  Just when we are getting weary of the silence....God knows just how to rebuild our hope/endurance/patience. 

Just keep praying for us!  Pray for patience.  Pray for hope to remain strong and for us not to want to give up.  Pray for this child that God has already picked out for us, and pray for that birth mother who is having to make the most difficult decision of her life. 

We love you all so much!  Thank you so much for coming out this morning and thank you to all my friends and family who volunteered their time to make this all happen!!

Love
