Over Half Way!

God continues to bless us in the most unexpected ways! We are just over half way to meeting the needs of Onah and Marie's foster care support for the entire year! God is awesome! We have 15 supporters right now that have teamed with us to help us bring home our babies!! As you know Matt and I have been paying $400 a month in foster care fees for Onah and Marie for 2 years. Instead of doing a fundraiser this spring we decided to send out support letters for the foster care we normally pay ourselves. God has blessed us with friends/family who have stepped up and helped us out with (currently) $230 of that a month!
Our goal is to find enough supporters to be able to meet the total $400 a month needed to cover their costs in foster care fees. I said earlier it is amazing how God has blessed us in the most unexpected ways...Matt and I were driving home the other night and many of you know we have been recycling metal to help pay for expenses. As we pulled in the drive Matt tells me he's going back down the road to see if he can pick up some metal he saw sitting by the road. He left and was gone for quite some time. I got worried so I called him and he proceeded to tell me the story of a man he just met. He talked to this man about taking the metal for him and the man said, "if it's metal you want to recycle then follow me" So of course Matt and Colten follwed him out back of his house and found what would be later over 1200 pounds of metal! Matt told the man what he was recycling it for and the man was excited to help. Just one load of the metal became a $10 supporter for the year!
It always amazes me throughout this long and drawn out journey how God supplies in the most unusual ways, yet shows He is faithful and where He leads He WILL provide! God, You amaze me!
