Genesis 22:13
Then
Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he
took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
On March 1, 2014 we kicked off our fundraising efforts for our adoption. We started promoting the event exactly two weeks before after our friend Sandy stepped up to help us out. We had received news from the agency that laws were changing April 1st and they may affect us negatively in our adoption. We rushed and helped kickoff all aspects of the adoption.
When we decided to adopt late 2012, we had decided to cut our expenses in half and downsized our home to half the cost and that's how we would get started in our saving. Obe wrote about all that in our previous post. We decided to give all of that to the Jesus Mission opposed to saving for our adoption. For example if we would have been saving $800 a month towards our adoption we would've had a savings in 2012 of $9,600. It would've been a total savings of $11,200 through March 1st. Well we didn't save that money. We decided to increase our tithing in order to further His kingdom in Aurora. We decided to sacrifice saving for our kids and yet our Almighty God provided the sacrifice we had made, by March 1st we had raised $11,500!!!!! We're still receiving donations through the mail and through Paypal. Can you believe it!?
I can! We serve the Almighty God, The King of Kings, Jehovah Jireh! Yes God my provider.
We had been faithful to the mission of Jesus and He proved His faithfulness to those who obey His commands. We are thankful to God and all the people who responded to the Holy Spirit and gave sacrificially that March 1st through their resources, their time and hard work to make everything happen!
We are forever thankful.
