Fundraising

Well, Kim and I are getting ready for the Music City 1/2 Marathon on April 29th.

That's 13.1 miles!

I get winded if I think too fast! Oh well, I'll be able to do it. I might have to visit the Oxygen Bar in Opry Mills!

Getting back on task. We are trying to raise the remainder of what we will need by doing a walk-a-thon. We need to raise $10,000. That's a daunting task but we are following God's will!

Did you know that it takes about $18,000 - $20,000 to adopt from China?
Did you also know that girls are abandoned because the family values sons over daughters? They are abandoned on the side of a road, in a park, outside of orphanages, etc.

Our daughter will be abandoned. She will be considered the bottom of society.

But here's the amazing thing: On a certain day, later this year, a day that we will call "Gotcha Day," our daughter will become the center of our universe!

You can't tell me that God's hand is not in this!
