We've come thus far...& more to come!

Hello Everybody! 

    Where to begin?   Our garage sale was a success!  Did we sell everything, no, but the majority of it  we did.  We have been accumulating baby items:)

 Judah has a place to sleep on each floor now!  We got our stroller travel system the other day too! This is happening man! 

  We have been blessed by so many people, too many to name here.  We are so grateful for you guys!   

 Our Judah is gonna be here soon and we are thrilled- excited-terrified-ready-not ready-but more ready.  

  Judah has been a thought and passion in our minds for years now.  We began to really   start praying for him in 2012.  And praying  for his mom for protection and to keep her safe and to keep Judah safe from harm.   January of 2013 we thought we'd look at starting into the adoption journey.   Our first ever application was post marked to Gods Children Adoption Agency. (Which mind you, they are amazing) and 4 days later Lindsey called to set up our first home study! She was in our home 7 days after mailing our application out.   Right then and there Kyle and I knew that this just might go fast and not a year long process thing that we had in mind.  Our home study was completed April 25th.  And we prayed that the baby emails we received, we would both be at peace about moving forward on.  We received 5 e-mails and nothing clicked to move ahead on, which we then turned those e-mails into prayers for those moms and babies. 

  And then..... May1st.   Kyle and I received an email about a mom pregnant with a boy and something inside Kyle and I got a little excited.  Needless to say our year long adoption process, which we thought would happen, was blown out of the water. 

  God truly had something good in store. 

I will stop for now and give you more details  when I can.  

 Please consider purchasing one ofJudah's  puzzle pieces for his room. 

We still have $300 pieces left.  

 Maybe you know of other's that may want to help.   The puzzle pieces are $10 a piece and we would love for friends and family and extended friends and family to share in a small piece of Judah's life.

Crunch time-We need your help!!!!

     June is fast approaching and so is Judah!!!    Talked with the agency today and we are needing all funds in full by June 8th in order they get them by June 10th.
Please spread the word about the love of adoption and helping bring home a son.   If others can help,  direct them to our blog if they are able to donate or even our address or phone number.   I promise you we will give more info later.  
We thank-you for prayers and support.

Judah's Journey Home

Hey everybody!
         Kyle and I have been in a whirlwind for about a week with this fast forward motion of Judah's Journey.     We are truly leaning on the One who provides for all our needs.   Truly thankful that we can cast every care upon the Lord because He truly cares for us!   In every situation He cares.  
I will say that our God has not brought us this far to fail us, but to go above and beyond our imaginations.    
Kyle and I are seeing His hand at work a lot during this last week, and we are so grateful. Not just in our adoption journey, but also in Kyle's business. 
Thankful that we serve a God who is always near, He hears our cries and answers them.    

Do we have our funds raised?  No, but still pressing ahead and praying for favor.  We still are in need of  a large chunk of money to come in by June 15th. Let's just say about $16,000 would be perfect, not above and beyond, but perfect.  God's got the whole world in His hands. 

Things coming up would be MAY 23, MAY 24, MAY 25.  These are the dates of our adoption fundraiser/bake sale fundraiser.    Please come out and support our Journey of bringing Judah home!   Tons of items!  dining room tables, a love seat, gun cabinet...and more larger pieces.  Check out the ad on www.bismanonline.com under the rummage sale section.

We still have pieces of our puzzle available as well!   Remember our puzzle pieces are $10 a piece and once the puzzle pieces are all bought up we will put it together and this will actually be framed with all of the families names on the pieces they have bought and be hung in Judah's bedroom.

Help us out by getting the word out and maybe your friends and relatives might be interested in making a donation and being a part of bringing in our Judah to make us 3.

Judah means praise and thanks.  It is interesting that through this whole process it has had it's ups and downs, twists and turns, but never slowing, only accelerating.   And it really has been a journey of Praise and Thanks as well as faith, and total trust in God.  

Love you all,
Micale
