We need prayer!
We have come up with another way that we can save some money ourselves and put a little bit more into the adoption fund this month:) We are SUPER excited about this but a little anxious as well. Here is what we are going to be doing. Starting next Wed, for one week, we will only be eating rice and beans two times a day. We are going to take the money saved from our normal grocery bill and put it towards our adoption. It has been on our heart to do this for a while now and we are looking forward to being able to fast in this way. The reason we choose rice and beans is that it is a staple for poorer people throughout the world. We are going to allow ourselves one luxury though....COFFEE! (Coffee or tea is a staple throughout Africa as well:)
The reason that I am posting this right now is because now that it is out there in internet world we are a LOT more accountable to it:) We ask for your prayers to help us get through the week, especially while I (Adam) am at work as I think that that will be the hardest for me.
We are having another fundraiser veggie/bake sale this Saturday at our home from noon to 4pm. Today, we were very busy making 12 batches of marinara sauce, and tomorrow we will be making pizza sauce as well to sell. We have tons of tomatoes, a huge variety of veggies, as well as cookies for sale. Another new item that we have for sale are some t-shirts. I will post a picture of them soon, but they have the picture of Africa on the front and the definition of Adoption on the back.
We want everyone to know how much we appreciate the support that we have been receiving. It is AWESOME seeing how God has been working through friends, family and strangers.
