Please keep this date in mind!
The week for our matching grant will be
FEBRUARY 17-23
Any donations made to our fund at
during that time period
will be MATCHED
with a cap of $1,000.
This also means that if we do not
meet $1,000 in donations that week,
the matching still ends.
We ONLY have that week to get
donations matched.
Just to let you know what that would mean to us
as far as our financial status goes,
here are some numbers for you.
Right now,
in all our adoption accounts,
we have a total of
$10,468.
We will be able to add $1,000 to that
in a week or so, which will bring it to
$11,468.
With that total, it will leave us with roughly
$7,400
left to raise.
IF we raise the $1,000 during our match week,
we will get another $1,000.
This will leave us with only
$5,400
left to raise!!!
$5,400 might seem like alot to some people...
and it IS alot to us as a family.
But compared to what The Lord has provided already,
it's not that much!
What a privilege it is to be humbled by the Lord.
In starting this process,
numbers seemed so daunting.
We have never spoken in terms of
THOUSANDS of dollars
for much of anything in our family's life!
At least not THIS many thousands!!!
So we are so humbled at how quickly the number
has decreased.
We KNEW He'd provide,
but sometimes we really see our LACK of faith
when He actually provides what we pray for.
Did we REALLY believe He'd give it?
I THOUGHT I did!
I know He will.
He hasn't given all of it,
but we trust that He will.
So rejoice with us,
pray with us,
and pray about giving during the week of
FEBRUARY 17-23.
We will be sending letters to some
close family and friends
to share with them a picture
of Tobias and to ask for donations.
We will also be sharing, VERY soon, our fundraiser
that we're planning!
So thanks again for sharing in this
adventure with us.
We can't wait to look back on it all
and be reminded of His faithfulness!!!
