First Fundraising Event


            What a great day it has been!  Today I spent the day sharing a booth with my sweet friend Heather at a Fall Festival at our first official Fundraising event!  It was so much fun!  I met the nicest people, got to talk about Amazima and 147Million Orphans and about our dreams of bringing our little one home.  We had friends from church show up to surprise and support us.  There were also chats with another adoptive mom that brought her little one home just months ago and others thinking of adopting in the years to come.  And as an added bonus…..we sold some items!!  Yay!!  I hope there are some proud women walking around wearing some beautiful jewelry and sharing the story of how they were made and how they supported our adoption!  God is so very amazing!  Today we were able to work for our little one while also helping to feed orphans in other countries.  SO cool! 
           In Matthew 25 Jesus says in vs 25 “For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat” and then in verse 41 He said “I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.”
