And the Winner is....

I meant to post this the other day but I haven't done much of anything the last few days.  I did something to my back and I am FINALLY feeling better.  I told Scott that this is what I get for trying to clean out the garage and the closets!!  Even though I do plan to dive right back in after Easter.

Just a little tidbit of information... We have submitted our home study to the state of Ohio to be considered to adopt a sibling group of 4.  We don't have a lot of information on them and we won't unless they decide to choose us to adopt them.  Right now, we are just praying that the Lord's will be done.  There are some "issues" as far as the size of our home and our income that may keep them from choosing us, but we know that God is bigger than those "issues" and if He wants these children in our family, they will be.  Right now the team is reviewing home studies.  I do not know for how long but I really hope to hear something in the next month or so.

And now onto the winner of the $100 Target Gift Card!!!  Thanks so much to those who donated to our fund.  We really appreciate it!  The winner is Pete Mular!!!!!  Pete, make sure that you email me your address at thejourneyhome.todd@gmail.com so I can get it out to you!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Selling Stuff!

Last weekend I did another cupcake sale for our adoption fund.  This was a little difficult because we have a team going to Hungary on a missions trip this summer so they are raising money as well.  I did pretty well making about $150 and a little more yet to come in.  I have also been cleaning out the garage and selling it.  I have been able to add money to our fund that way as well!  God has been good because things keep selling and it is no longer in my house!

I want to ask that you pray about a situation that we have been introduced too.  We are praying about it and hoping to hear something soon.  We are waiting on our agency to send our home study to another state in order to be considered at this time.  We know that God is in control and I will just keep waiting on Him and His perfect timing.

Don't forget, you still have a day or so left to be part of our Target Gift Card Drawing!!!  Just make a donation on the right hand side where is says Todd Adoption Fund and you will be put in the drawing.  It doesn't matter what you donate to be in the drawing.  I will draw the winning name on April 3rd at 8:00pm est and post the winner!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and I look forward to sharing with you more about what God is doing in our lives.  Have a SUPER week!
