The Big Day!

We gave the Adoption Fund (the money raised) to the Ponters yesterday morning! I know you are anxious to know the total amount that was collected, so here it is ... (drumroll, please)...$12,164.95!! God is so good! He far exceeded my expectations of what could be raised! I am so happy that the Ponters have this gift and won't have to worry about where they will get this money. This is confirmation that Mattie is where God wants her to be! Everyone was so generous!

Easter Sunday! The day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus which allows us all to have a new life in Him. We can now all be adopted into God's family and live as his children forever. That is why we chose Easter Sunday as the day to present the money. There was no better day than Easter to celebrate the adoption of a child into an earthly family.

We had collected the money for 7 weeks, and what a work God did in those 7 weeks. God had laid it on my heart to do some fundraising, so I started this blog and passed out some flyers at church. God spoke to many people because the message got out far and wide. Thanks to everyone who gave so generously!
