Still trucking

Things are going sooo slowly.  It is beyond frustrating.  Everytime I think we are going to move forward we get pushed two steps backwards. 

Our first online auction went very well.  We raised enough to cover our placing agency application fee and our donation to RR.  I was praying we would make enough this weekend at the craft show to cover our homestudy fees.  It didn't happen.  I went in the hole.  :(  Not a fun experience.

I am clinging to the Lord this week.  Trusting that he called us to do this so he will provide our needs.  It is so easy for me to focus on the bad and negative.  So easy for me to want to say I give up this is too hard.  I REFUSE to give up, I REFUSE to give in!!  This is my child, he is worth fighting for.

I ask for your prayers and support.  I ask for your help to keep me focused on the positives.

We are starting our Puzzle Fundraiser.  We have purchased a beautiful puzzle of all things Russian.  We are selling each piece for $10.  I will write your name on the back of the piece you purchase.  Once the puzzle is complete we are going to have it professionaly framed so both sides are visible.  This way our child will be able to see everyone who helped to bring him home.  If you are interested in purchasing a piece please let me know.
