In Adoption News....

JT and I have had a blessed week. Last week we placed our first t shirt order for 158 shirts. We could not believe it. Our second order is over 100 shirts right now and we are still taking orders. The thought of getting $6000 together when we found out about Tedi, our three year old little guy waiting on us, was daunting...much like the overall cost. However, we decided to pray over this money and to trust God will provide. I read a quote today that says God provides for the things He ordains.... He is obviously wanting Tedi home! Once the shirts that are ordered are paid for, we will have $3000, the first half of what we need. Also, we have come together and decided to take half of our tax refund and devote it to Tedi's adoption. We are asking others to be bold in supporting us financially and thus feel we should expect the same from ourselves....We thought we would use all of this money to pay off small debts but are feeling called to take this step. This will put us even closer to our $6000... I can't even articulate because we are so blessed. We have been blessed financially through this process....we have fabulous friends and family members who love us, and more importantly a God who loves us despite who we are. And we are so blessed to have this beautiful little boy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia waiting for us....

JT and I found this great Africa decal with the heart cut out as Ethiopia on etsy.com.... The family who sells them have recently adopted an adorable girl. Their blog is http://happysagers.blogspot.com/. Check it out! Also, let us know if you would like T SHIRTS!!!
