We Believe in Miracles

What should be good news is somewhat distressing for us. We heard from our family coordinator yesterday. Apparently, our region wants us to come back to Russia to get our little Angel sooner than we expected. Now, there are may adoptive parents who would be doing the happy dance and praising the Lord. We wish we could.

Unfortunately, we are still short funds to complete our adoption. She informed us that the Officials will not wait long for us to raise the money to get back to Russia and that we may lose our little girl. This was devastating news for us.

Since our return from trip one, we have been involved in fundraising activities such as a scrapbooking business, yard sales, selling entertainment books, selling flower bulbs, selling candles, and a spaghetti dinner. We have raised about $2400 so far. We are far from what we need.

We are desperate to bring our little Angel home. We humbly ask that anyone reading our blog consider helping us. Please pray for us, please ask your family and friends to pray for us, and please put us on your prayer lists at your church. If you feel inclined to help us financially you can email us at murrayadoption@yahoo.com or donate through paypal via the button on the right.

We are not giving up! We have faith that God wants us to bring our Angel home and that He will provide for us. He has the power to perform miracles.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." Mark 11:22,23

Thank you in advance for your support.

God Bless,
Elizabeth

I didn't even read your whole post before I hit the donate button. Thinking of how desprately we wanted to get to our daughter in Russia and couldn't, I was moved to hear that it was money keeping you from yours. God bless you, may you have her in your arms sooner than you think. I am linking to your post from my blog at www.eternalsunshineofthenelsonmind.blogspot.com
