Girl, Get Outta That Boat!

Yes, God calling me out of the boat and into the waves sets off alarm bells inside me and they twist my stomach into knots. It's so comfortable in the boat where I can be the one who supports other people who are fundraising, where money for our adoption quietly and consistently arrives right on schedule, and the miracles of how our adoptions get funded stay quiet. Well, I've left the boat behind and I'm in unchartered waters. I told my sister tonight that Zeb's adoption will be the result of many miracle donations, people choosing to be a part of his life story in a very special way. I'm so thankful for the gifts we've received so far. No, thankful is too small a word for it. I'm humbled, encouraged, surprised, overjoyed, and grateful. Somehow, there's not a single word to sum up how I feel. We have a long way to go as we navigate these waters, but we aren't alone. There is one who has gone before us, making the path smooth and straight. And we have all of you walking with us as well. Loving this child and getting him home is a feeling like walking on air...or water.

Announcing the Mother's Day fundraiser!! For a minimum gift of $30, we will mail a card from you to any woman you choose saying you've contributed to Half the Sky (a foundation providing care and love to orphans in China) and Baby Zeb's adoption fund in her honor for Mother's Day. Whatever your donation, we'll split it 50-50 between Half the Sky and Baby Zeb's adoption fund. Also, we'll have a mock-up of the card soon! If you think this is the PERFECT gift for a mom or woman you know, click on the DONATE button on our blog. Be sure to leave the name(s) you want put on the card for who it's from and the name and address of the recipient. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING LOVE TO ORPHANS!!!!

We've been matched to a baby boy in China! Hooray!!
