Are you ready for this?!?!?
Psalm 34:1-5a, 9 "I will praise the LORD no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of His glories and grace. I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. Let us praise the Lord together, and EXALT His name. For I cried to Him and he answered me! He freed me from all my fears. Others too were radiant at what HE DID!! If you belong to the Lord, reverence Him, for everyone who does this has everything he needs."
We are jumping up and down and shouting from the house, praising and singing songs of thankfulness to the Lord for He has guided us through this process in amazing and miraculous ways that we couldn't possibly handle on our own! The impossible, made possible by the touch of God. People all over have rallied around us to join part in what the Lord is doing and going to do through the adoption of these two precious, chosen children that will join our family.
Humbled and in awe to announce that.....
W E A R E F U L L Y F U N D E D !!!
100%! The day has come! Whoot! whoot! Still can't quite believe it!
Today we had our One Sought Me Walk for Orphan Adoption and were blessed by the number of people who came out to the event! Friends and friends of friends and new friends - we are so thankful! Live music, guest speaker bringing the message of the word of God, games for the kids, food, raffles, and of course walking around our local park brought us one step closer to our financial goal! After the walk we were talking to a "friend" on the phone telling them about the event. With July's other fundraisers we were going to be left with a goal of $1900 yet to raise. Then, over the speaker phone, this "friend" said they were going to top it off for us and pay the remaining amount!! Dancing in the streets-kind-of-happiness here people!
All we can say is "WOW" and "Whoaaa" and "What an awesome God we serve!"
Thank you for your help and HUGE part in getting us to reach this goal! It is by the body of Christ and you supporters being the hands and feet, the earthly representation of our Heavenly Father, that this is all able to come about. Deeply, we thank you and are amazed by your love for our family and especially for the children!!

Hanging on for the rest of this ride through the adoption process as the Lord guides and directs us to our little ones waiting for a mommy, daddy, and a family to call home! We are on the waiting list and continue in prayer for the hearts of Tarik and Elsa as God will prepare them for their new family!
We'll keep you posted! More adventures to come!! Thank you!!
Todd and Erin and family
*Note: Heart-felt folks continue to donate funds to us to use towards our adoption costs. We are faithful to use these funds towards adoption expenses. Any funds beyond agency fees, travel costs, etc, are going directly to gifts for the caregivers of our children at the foster home in Ethiopia and to the immediate care of the children. We are grateful for these donations and blessed to pass on the blessings to others! Thank you!!
