Giveaway and T-shirt Clearance Sale

We are getting so very close to travel, although not as close as I would like.  It looks like we won’t travel until August or so.  UGH!  I want to go now.  But, what do you do?  I could go camp out on their doorstep until they issue my travel approval, but not sure that they would appreciate me doing that.  So, for now, I patiently wait…and fundraise. :)

T-Shirt Clearance  I still have some t-shirts left and are selling them at a reduced price to try and move what I have and raise that last bit of money.  All shirts at $15.00 and that includes shipping if you need me to ship it to you.  You can email me at amyrhood5@gmail.com to arrange payment and let me know what size you need.  I am limited on men’s sizes, but have most of the women’s sizes available in both colors.

Necklace Giveaway  Tracy Hanson, with Junk Posse has graciously donated a beautiful necklace for a giveaway.  Thank you Tracy for being a part of bringing our little guy home.  And, for the sake of variety, I purchased one to add to the giveaway.  You DO NOT have to make a donation to be entered in the drawing.  But, if you would like to donate, the entries are $5 per entry and can be made by clicking on the donate button on the right side of this blog.

We are so very close to bringing our little guy home and believe me, we cannot wait.  You guys rock!  I love you all and cannot wait until I am blogging away from China.  Soon, Lord, please let it be very soon.

We Are Almost There!

I am thrilled to say we are close to meeting our fundraising goal.  We are about $1000-1200 dollars from having our adoption  account where we need it to be for when we travel. 

Believe it or not, after all we have already paid out (about $12,000 so far) we still have about about $15,000 left to go.  Just typing that amount makes me shudder.  We are called to adopt.  We are no rich by any means, but we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills.  And He has provided and will continue to do so.  We are down to the last few weeks before we travel (hopefully) and we are oh so close.  I had a yard sale this past weekend and raised $1005.00 – excuse me while I sing a little bit of the Doxology!! :)  Can you believe that?  God sent just the right people to make that happen.  It was the hottest that I have ever been in my life, but it was SO worth it.

Here is what I have left in me to get this last little bit raised.

Necklace giveaway…you do NOT have to donate to enter, but it would be greatly appreciated.  I received the necklaces in the mail today and they made me cry.  They are so beautiful.  Thank you Tracy for your beautiful work.  You are truly a blessing.

T-shirt Clearance Sale – As you know we sold t-shirts and we have a few left.  We would love for you to have one of these really cool t-shirts.  They are the Save One or Serve One shirts.  We believe that as believers, we should all play a role in caring for the orphans.  These t-shirts raise awareness of the orphan crisis in this world.  It’s overwhelming if you think about the 147,000 orphans in the world, but we can all make a difference in the life of ONE orphan. 

Sewing – I am still working hard to complete the orders that I have.  If I still have not got your dress to you, I will very soon.  It’s on the top of my priority list AGAIN!!  I’ll be contacting you very soon.  I love sewing for people and hope that I can continue to do so after we travel and get Isaiah home.  I plan on doing it in my spare time. :)

Thank you for walking this journey with us.  It’s not an easy one, but the rewards in the end make everything worth while.  Just look at that face…  see what I mean?

Hang on Isaiah, you Mommy and Daddy are coming very soon.  We love you very much and can’t wait to get you home where you belong.
