"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

Answered Prayer!

God answers prayers!!!

I am totally convinced of this.

As I posted a few weeks ago, we accepted a referral of a baby boy in Ethiopia. The referral fee is $10,000. This payment was required to be sent along with our referral acceptance form.

But...Joel and I don't have $10,000 to pay all at once.

So, what did we do?

We prayed!..

Then called our agency and asked if we could pay it in installments.
There response...
We could pay $5000 now, then the rest would be due by the end of August.

A little more time, but not much considering we still needed $5000 and would need another $5000 in less than 1 month.

But anything is possible with God!

Yesterday we received an email from JSC Foundation stateing we had received a grant for $10,000 and the check was already on the way to our agency.

What? Really?

Thank you God for answered prayers!

Now we wait to be assigned a court date (probably in late fall) so we can go meet our precious little guy.

Thanks for all who are praying for us and supporting us through our fundraising efforts. We are so humbled and blessed by all of you!

Joel and Mandy
