As of March we will have been waiting on our adoption referral for 2 years. The time has slipped by and we have found ourselves busy and trying to be patient. It has been two years that has seen growth in both Justin and Alex. Both are excited about being a brother to Sunshine, but Alex has gotten really jazzed about it. He spent the first 5 years of his life being the youngest and always being excluded from the bigger kids play. I've been watching him with younger kids and babies and he is going to be a great big brother.
So we wait . . . we are patient . . . we wait on God's timing. It may take us another full year (I hope not), but we will wait.
If you have been wanting to support our efforts to bring Sunshine home, we have a new fundraiser that we have started. A wonderful small business out of Tennessee has provided adoptive families with the ability to sell coffee and recieve a portion of the selling price as a donation. For every bag of coffee or t-shirt bought at www.justlovecoffee.com/sunshinefund they will send $5 to our adoption account. We will then be able to use the funds to offset our travel and agency expenses. This company has a great heart for providing for orphans and adoptive families. I plan to continue supporting their work well after our initial journey is complete.
Prayer Requests: Please pray that we continue to remain patient and waiting on God. Please pray for financial provision and direction in our careers. Please pray for our family (brothers and sisters) as we all look to be support for Sunshine. Mostly, please pray for Sunshine. That she will be well cared for, loved and looking forward to meeting her new family.
