Thankful for the Harvest

Below is the post I wrote after last year's Harvest Festival, where we had our first fundraiser for the adoption.  We had just started the process, and we were ecstatic that we could add $600 from the cake sale to our "baby fund." A year later, it's Harvest Festival time again, and we look back with awe at how God has worked from one October to the next!  

The baby that I have carried in my heart for years has been made known to us * A check for $25000 has been mailed * God has taken our amoeba-sized faith and stretched it to points previously unimaginable to us * God has used this journey to draw us, our family and church families to our knees and closer to Him. 

We serve a God that is faithful and good, even when we are not. Our God is the Giver of grace and miracles, and for that I'm ever thankful!

Status of cake sale: Total Success

We held our Silent Cake Auction/bake sale last night at our church Harvest Fest, and it raised nearly $600 for the adoption!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that helped us make our first fundraiser a success; we really do have the best church family around :0).
