about 3 weeks ago (or so) I remember, it was lunch time and we had just found out about the new rule of having to have the whole $30,000 for the adoption "up front", instead of being able to pay as we went along. we were so discouraged. it caught us off guard. it was like a black cloud came in and sat over our family. we did the only thing we knew to do at that moment. we both sat on the floor and prayed the best we could with faith as small as a mustard seed.
later that afternoon, our friend Alissa from California contacted me. we met her and her husband while church planing a few years ago. they are awesome individuals and were a huge blessing to our church community and our friendship was birthed during that time. she said she had read my blog and that God had been speaking to her about how she could help. so to make a long story short, starting February 28th, she is doing an online raffle to help us raise money for Paxton.

Would your church allow the funds to go through them so people can get a tax write off? Just a thought...
