Dang sick and tired
So most of you who have followed our journey know that this has been a path God has lead us on for the past year. You also know that the Lord said we would be fully funded with no debt acquired. If you don't believe in the leading of the Holy Spirit you can keep criticism to yourself. Anyways its been a long road with many ups and downs. God has supplied every dollar we need. It has been difficult to trust God with this matter because I know how precious money is to people and unfortunately sometimes we think it is more powerful than God himself. So let me get to the point right now we are having a dispute with our agency, they say on our next trip we owe our facilitators $880. It is in our fee schedule but it states in our schedule that it is for the expenses of our first and second trip to and from the airport and the fee for all the paperwork for the embassy and the clinic. Our agency is now saying it is not for both trips and we owe it. We were never truly fully funded but I was tired of fundraising I was tired of asking for money. We still needed $1000 for the kids flights. Also we have had to pay double in transportation because Varvara's orphanage is 2.5hours outside of the city, so it added $700 to our fees.I am telling you all of this because there have still been some people asking to donate and I have been telling them we are fine. The truth is we are not fine. Yes, we can charge these fees on a credit card but truly it is the last thing we can afford is another credit card payment. If we have to we will take a cash advance for the last $2000 but it makes me sick to think of doing it. There have been so many of you who have helped and so many of you who blog. So I am hoping for some help. I am scraping every dollar together just to need less. I totally understand money is precious to many and of course I understand we all need it but this is the end. No matter what we will bring our babies hom,e no matter if we receive another dollar or not. So if you feel lead to donate believe me it will bring me to my knees but if not please pray for us and the end of this journey. As always we are humbled by your love and support. As I prayed today I could here the Holy Spirit say if you don't ask they won't know. So here I am asking once again. Its all tax deductable through Reece's Rainbow click on the babies photo on the side bar to get to our family grant page. Thank you and many blessings. At this point I am sure you understand every dollar counts even if it is just $5.

Yesterday I did something I have never done before -- I bought a Powerball ticket. If I had won the $173 million, I was going to fully fund everyone I love on Reece's Rainbow. Sad to say, I didn't win (but then, no one else did, either), so I am offering a small amount to help you get those beautiful children home ... :)

Found this quote from Edward Everett Hale:
"I am only one,
but I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse
to do the something
that I can do."
Love,
