for myself...

The past few days I have been completing some projects for myself.  I made these pillows for my bed.  All from fabric and supplies that I already had.

Excuse the mess...it's laundry day...
After I put away all of the laundry...
not really...
my dad came over and helped me build some raised beds for a vegetable garden...again, with supplies we already had (from a not-so-successful attempt at an ice rink in the backyard)...thanks, dad!!!


But now it's time to get back to work.  Time to make flowers.  Time to sell said flowers.  Time to apply for grants.  Time to have a garage sale fundraiser.  Time to get creative.  Time to pray for God's provision.  Time to raise the 2nd to LAST goal amount of $5000 to keep things moving for our adoption.  I am so thankful that God's economy is not our economy.  As a friend put it...that's 100 people graciously giving $50.  Not a big deal when you look at it that way!  Pray with us for God's provision to keep moving forward.

We've had some setbacks along the road.  The lab work for our physicals for adoption was not covered under our insurance.  We have a ridiculously high deductible.  Nearly $1000 to pay for the lab work.  God is not surprised by our setbacks.  This is just another opportunity for Him to shine!

  1. I just discovered your blog via Ashley Ann's giveaway. I'm going to have to buy one of those blooming belts today!!!! So, So cute!
    I wanted to share my blog link with you. My husband and I just adopted a beautiful baby boy almost 6 weeks ago. We met him and brought him home when he was 3 days old. Our lives are overflowing with love and we know that God's fingerprints are all over him. This is the specific link of the long detailed story of how we got him. It will happen and when it does all of the waiting, longing, praying, and dreaming will make sense! I hope our story and my blog can encourage you. God's Blessings--Angela Moore
