“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
I’m writing this post today to update everyone about our Matching Grant. I don’t have the final total at this time, but I can tell you this – our goal of $2,500 was met and SURPASSED!! The last total we received was $2,681!! Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who gave to help us meet this matching grant! From precious family members and dear friends, to people we’ve never met and other families who are also adopting – your generosity has touched us deeply, and we will forever remember and tell Lily how God’s people gave and prayed to help bring her to our family.
Our desire has been to take Corinne with us when we travel so she will be able to experience her sister’s country, culture, language, people, and food. For the past two weeks I have been crunching the numbers, looking at flight and hotel prices, trying to decide if we had the funds available to make this a reality. To be honest, it was not looking good. We might have had enough, but it would take every penny. I even delayed applying for our visas until the last possible moment so we could be sure.
On Tuesday afternoon, I received a phone call from our agency with amazing news – we’ve received another grant!! This is more than enough to cover Corinne’s travel expenses! So now we can say YES, Corinne, you are going to China with us!
Join with us in praising the Lord for His amazing provision. We are just blown away with it all and look forward to sharing our entire story with you at a later date.
We are still waiting for our Article 5, but we think travel is in about four to five weeks! Yay!!
Grace sufficient, Love compelling
