Where we are at in our journey...

Coach Poppy Glam Tote Bag ...in BLACK SATEEN


Take a look at this purse.  Isn't it great?  In it, any hot mamma could carry all the necessary little things to make her life run smoothly while looking chic.
Wallet
sun glasses
cell phone
ipad
make-up bag
pens
check book
receipts receipts receipts
the occasional shin guard for soccer
spare diaper
old sippy cup
cold fries from dinner on the fly.....
Hold on, I forgot, this is a chic person's bag, not mine.
So really, it will hold what ever you toss into it.

The perfect gift, right?

The problem is, it won't hold what I need it to.
 I need to hold a precious six year old boy.  He needs to call me Mamma.  This little boy needs a family and to know He is LOVED...and worth fighting for. He needs to know that family is forever and unconditional.  When we found out that Little "A" was in need of a family due to an adoption disruption we immediately prayed and sought all the information.  This little boy is one of God's beloved children and  he is just like any other healthy, active 6 yr old boy..except he needs a FAMILY.  I understand that he loves to play, run around, and is amazing at baseball.  We really can't share too much information about "A" with you. We want to protect the identity of his family; this is an extremely difficult time for them and they need many prayers right now. Adoption disruption can be extremely painful, heartbreaking and difficult...But God's LOVE covers, heals, repairs, redeems, restores, protects and hopes. God's love never fails. God knows the ending of this adoption story..He knew the ending even before it began. We are thankful that He chose us to be the forever family for little "A". We are standing on God's Word while we go through all of the steps required of us and praying for God to prepare our hearts and our children for the blessing, who will soon be with us. We are also praying for "A" for God's protection over his heart and mind in Christ Jesus...that God will bring healing and restoration through HIS amazing Grace and Love.  God has opened this amazing door and we are truly thankful as our Heavenly Father draws us closer to Him; to lean on Him and trust Him in everything. We will be able to travel and meet with the attorney in his home state to bring him here soon, however, we are literally walking in faith that somehow God will provide us financially with everything needed to go and get him. This purse was a beautiful gift...but the greatest gift is the gift of adoption...the gift of family...the gift of hope.

What to do?  What to do? We are so close to being able to travel to go and get our son. He knows we should be coming soon and is waiting for us! We have prayerfully decided to do this....a give away!!

The obvious choice is to give it away.***NOTE: The purse being given away is in black Sateen *****

Do you see the donate button at the top right of this page?  Every $10 donation enters you into a give-away for this lovely  black Coach Poppy Glam Tote Bag.  The Coach bag is valued at $200.00 and we need $7000.00.

The give away will be closed on February 25th
I know all you HOT MAMA's would look great with this chic bag on your arm, and in making that happen, you put a six-year-old in our arms. Or, it could be a gift to pass on to a loved one with the message that it helped to bring home our son:)
Please prayerfully consider praying for our family and for Little "A's" arrival to be soon. Also, for our entire family for protection during this time and for God's peace to cover his welcome home. Please also consider praying for his family who are needing all of our prayers;for God to minister to all of their hearts and minds and for healing within their family. I pray they are surrounded with God's love and support in their church family and community.  If you are feeling God's leading, share this story with friends on FB or Twitter..or even Pintrist!! and ask them to pray as well.
