"If we ever are afraid of the future, eternity, or God’s judgment, we can remind ourselves of God’s love. We know that he loves us perfectly (Romans 8:38, 39). We can resolve our fears first by focusing on his immeasurable love for us, and then by allowing him to love others through us. His love will quiet your fears and give you confidence." - Study Bible Commentary on 1 John 4:18

P.S. Joel and I accepted a referral of a beautiful baby boy in Ethiopia. We are so overjoyed. Stop by our family blog to follow along on our journey as we wait and prepare to bring our son/baby brother home to our now family of 4 ---Mandy

Thanks to our friend and amazing photographer, Lisa at Bluesixteen Photography and Design, we have scheduled our next fundraiser.

Check out the { Photography Fundraiser } tab at the top for details...

And don't forget to book your spot!

Did you notice we get 50% profit?... and you get the digital rights to all the pictures?

I think this is such a great deal for you (and blessing to us).

Happy Summer!

I hope you all are having a summer full of God's blessings!

We have been having some family time and rejuvination time these last few weeks, but hope to get going on some more fundraising/planning as we move into this month.

Keep checking back for new events and updates.

Meanwhile, ponder this ...

Acts 1:8 says:


But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”



We are called to be witness (missionaries) at home, in our city, state, country and world. Enjoy being where God has called you and doing His work.

I am enjoying seeing His work and plan through this adoption ministry that He has set on our hearts. I cannot wait to see where He leads us next in this. Thank you for joining us in this exciting time.

Blessings,
Mandy
