So last night was........

A total success and had God written all over it! From the beginning of the planning till the end of the event, God carried us through. We are amazed by God's kindness to us. He just continues to prove that adoption is straight from His heart. We have so many people who donated their time, money, talents, etc.. just to make our night a success. It was so exciting to hear today from people God has divinely set up to pursue their dreams to adopt. We do hope that He was glorified and magnified and that the passion that He has caused to burn so bright in our hearts would be contagious. So the big question is, "How much?" and the answer is $2300!!! Everyone asked if we had a goal and the truth is no. From the very beginning we have been completely aware that God knows exactly how much this adoption is going to cost. Because of that we have complete confidence that He will more than provide for all that we need. I am headed to bed because I have unfortunately caught what has been going around but I wanted to just give a short update. I am hoping for Doug to share a little of his message that he preached yesterday. He unpacked how our vertical adoption should impact our views of horizontal adoption. So here is a list of all the people who helped make last night a huge success:
