Oh my sweet Brenda...
How i thank God everyday for you.
Six months ago we could barely communicate.
Today, I treasure your stories...the glimpses into your life before God gave you to us.
Happy 6 months home precious girl. I love you!
Things are happening around here!!
We received our biometrics fingerprint appointment this past week for September 19. We have heard they may accept us as a walk in so we are going to drive to Tampa to see if they will fit us in early.
We also heard that there may be a slight chance that we may be traveling earlier than we had originally anticipated.
As a result of this news, we are going to start our online silent auction September 14th through September 21st. This is a whole week earlier than we had planned.
If we do travel in Oct, we wanted to have the auction completely finished.
This will be our ONE and ONLY fundraiser. It's just not for us. We have decided to simply pray and tell God our needs and will rely on him for His help.
Please pray for:
1. God's perfect timing.
2. For our hearts and Brenda's brothers heart. This is huge for him and for us!! Will we instantly love a 10 year old? Will he love us back? Realistically, probably not. He is leaving everything he has ever known.
Logically, it doesn't make sense, but our ways are not God's ways and our thoughts are not God's. We can simply pray for God to knit our hearts together.
3. Logistics. God knows what we need and when we need it. I'm a lightning bolt kind of gal. I want to pray God in doing what I want him to do and how I want him to do it. And NOW. It never really works out well for me.
4. Our silent auction and all that is involved.
Our prayer all along has been for God to open the doors that need opened and to close the doors that need closed.
I believe in prayer with every fiber of my being. So please come alongside our family and simply pray with us and for us.
I appreciate all of the donations that have come in for the silent auction. From the bottom of my heart--THANK YOU!!

Mudlove is a great company that gives 20% of
their sales to help give clean water in Africa! So when you buy a
bracelet from our fundraiser, not only will 100% of the proceeds benefit
our adoption, but 20% of the actual cost of the bracelet will go
towards clean drinking water for people in Africa.
For every $10 you donate towards our adoption fund,
you can pick the MudLove bracelet [no shipping fees] of your choice.
To order yours, use the donate button to the right and let me know in your note which band(s) you want.
Check out our Smith Family Adoption Fundraising page for up to date band colors and quantities.
We are headed to Uganda again to reunite Brenda with her brother and we so need y'alls help!!! This is SOOO out of our comfort zone, but we have no choice but to fundraise to bring him home.
As many of you know, this will be our second adoption this year. Who would have thought this would be apart of God's story???
From September 21 until September 28 Sep 14 until Sep 21 we will be holding an online silent auction
to help get us closer to our $12,000 goal.
If you have anything that you'd like to
donate or if you know someone or a business who might be willing to
help, please contact me by September 4.
Ideas include gift cards for national chains,
handmade items (knit, lotions, soap, sewing, etc), jewelry,
electronics, books, local services (photography, lawn mowing) and almost anything else
new/unused that you can think of.
All money raised will go directly to our adoption fund and we will give any shops/businesses who donate a lot of good
PR!
The online auction will open on September 14 and it will run for
about one week.
If you would like to contribute an item, please:
1. Email me a clear photo of the item(s)
with a description and approximate value to poulinsj@hotmail.com.
2. Links to your Facebook page, website, and/or shop.
3. Your name and the best email address to reach you.
Y'all, I’m believing that God will use this auction to provide far
above and beyond what we need to complete this adoption.
I
know, I’m dreamin’ BIG here. But I believe the GOSPEL changes everything.
Please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE this post so we can get as many great items as possible for the auction!
