Craft fairs... GALORE!

We started Craft fair season. We are doing two to help get the word out about our adoption. First one didn't go so well, but the one yesterday was FANTASTIC!!
This was our table yesterday. I only brought home a few of those jars in the front (Cookie and Brownie mixes in a jar) and a store nearby is consigning a dozen of our clocks for the holiday! We have raised enough for half of the home study. I'm super excited to see how the rest of the crafting season happens. We've been fundraising for about 3-4 weeks now and God has truly blessed this whole process! Bobby and I will take this process one day at a time. I want this whole process to glorify Jesus and the blessings He has given us. I want this story to be a testimony to win souls for the Kingdom. No doubt it's been hard (already!!) and I've been very overwhelmed with all the paperwork. I'm really praying for patience, the ability to focus, and perseverance to keep running this marathon. The lady from NDSAN (National Down Syndrome Adoption Network told us we have our choice of SEVENTEEN... yes 17 children! Seven of them will be born in the spring, and ten of them are wards of the state. We would just have to raise the money to travel there and pick them up. Private adoptions are a lot more expensive. We're completely open to anything at this point. Please keep our little family in your prayers. :) We will sure take them! -Sheri
