Fun thinking back to 6 years ago! “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20 We have ENOUGH! MORE than enough!!! In just […] We love to see God working through His people! Thank you for being His messenger! Wow! I just read all of this! Wow! Just read both posts. Was eager to see what you were up to and how to help, but I’ll look forward to a future opportunity. What an awesome testimony to God’s providence and others’ obedience to His leading… What a mighty God we serve and what a privilege to be part of a serving kingdom! So encouraging to see how God is using you… INCREDIBLE! I am so excited that extra money was raised and will go to help girls who might otherwise drop out of school. That was an issue that had never crossed my mind until I read about it in your post. OY! crazy girl…crazy…that was so fast…I’ll be waiting for the pad campaign next 🙂 kj How did I already miss out? That was fast … God is good! I will be waiting anxiously for the next campaign. Thank you for organizing this! I just finished reading your posts and was all set to donate until I saw you’d met your goal. Yes, please keep us updated as I would love to help if more funds are needed. I just read this and missed out too 🙁 Please let me know when the next campaign starts, I too would love to be a part of it! How awesome the money for the nets was raised!! Wow, I don’t read blogs for two days and I miss out on so much! Please keep us posted about any other ways we can help. Love your heart!  Oh me oh my–how the Lord DOES work wonders…STILL TODAY. Wanna join Him? Wanna be used RIGHT now to make a HUGE difference? There is no way I can put into words how God has orchestrated these events leading to this post–but just know the Lord is working…in Korah. We have a beautiful 16 year […] Partners in this beautiful life… Loving serving with you my sister! Oh Melanie Strobel…GOD USED YOU MY FRIEND TO GET THIS DONE!!!!!!!!!!! I am AMAZED! girl – I love what you and Sarah and Melanie have done! We just did the paypal thing – working an extra shift this month payed off:) I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now, but have never commented… I guess I’m a blog stalker… 🙂 You inspire me!! We are on the waiting list for a baby girl from Ethiopia. God has given us a heart for Africa. We donated and I linked to this post to my facebook account, so hopefully more of my friends will give too! Thanks for giving us chances to help! YES ~ I’m donating money for nets and beyond. Well done, again, in following God’s Will and not stopping your connections to pull people together to help. We’re IN! We have a teenage son at Korah ( God keeps giving me more boys, every time we sign up to sponsor someone- love it! ) – can’t wait to meet him! I still have two trips to make so keep me informed on what you are thinking next….. Andrea – this is so amazing and wonderful! By the way, are you aware that after a person makes a donation, they are redirected to a site: babyofmyheart/thankyou? I am thinking there is a typo somewhere, because I don’t think you meant for people to be sent there… THANK YOU for heading this up!!!!!! these kids are in my thoughts ALL. DAY. LONG. oh my heart is HAPPY! Since I first heard about Korah, my heart has been breaking. Thank you for providing this opportunity to give. I have been so encouraged by your journey to Isaac. We are currently waiting for a referral for two children and I feel like part of my heart is in Ethiopia. Just bought 2! I can’t wait to see what God does here! I have a really, amazing, inexpensive…super cool thing that YOU could do…to help an orphan in a really BIG, life-changing, life perserving way. Working on last minute details…but we need YOUR help–and it’ll cost less than a trip through the drive thru. Oh yeah–and every orphan that needs one…really should have it by the end […] what a teaser … cannot wait to learn more excited to help!! |

My kiddos think cheeze-its and yogurt are a delicacy! I’m with you on the gross side, but they love it. 🙂
Cheez-its and yogurt? I’m not so sure about that one… Good luck at the doctor’s visits and physical therapy- Isaac is a miracle! Can’t wait to read your post tomorrow… your blog is always so inspiring!
LOL! Frank is to much! Dang girl you are busy! You inspire me!
Grosser than Cheez-its and yogurt is chocolate chip cookies in ketchup. Nas.Ty!!
Oh…feeling the ear infections, fluid and congestion with you! Living the dr appt’s with ya too! Abby is up every 2 hours and I am now hoping that since our dr. found her ear drum (after removing globs of wax) to discover the infection, we will get some sleep soon when her antibiotic kicks in. Will go to ENT but doc. said tubes-90%. I was thinking of you in the night and praying for your sleep or lack of…strength for the season. It is glorious tho, isn’t it! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. that I finally got to adopt after all these years!!!!
