Operation 10:10:1 {Update}

February 6, 2013 by Christie 7 Comments

Wow!  What an amazing week it has been!

Over $3,000 in donations.
Countless offers to share our story on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.
Pampered Chef parties, photography lessons, Scentsy parties, coffee fundraisers and a few different things scheduled for March.
The offers of love, support, and assistance come in every day and honestly, I don’t know how to say thank you!  Have you ever been so overwhelmed by others’ generosity that you wish there was something bigger than “Thank You”?  Yeah, that’s me!
I think my hardest day was Saturday as the doubt of all of this actually happening really started to settle in.  The fear of what others thought of our crazy adventure threatened to overwhelm me.  And then I remembered, Satan hates this!  He would love for me to believe that this isn’t possible, he would love to send the naysayers to discourage me along the way, but God.

God said, “Move forward in obedience.  Trust me.  I’m in control and I love this beautiful baby.”
So, we move forward — trusting and believing that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Operation 10:10:1 should end on Sunday afternoon (that would be a full 10 days), but we may keep it going until Wednesday if we haven’t met our goal!  But, we are believing that the Lord can do this by Sunday!
Will you continue to pray for us, share, blog about, tweet, and Facebook our story?  My little reach isn’t big enough, but all of us together can bring our girl home!
Thank you for all of your love and support.  You all are a blessing to me!

    I’ve just ‘found’ you, though Davene’s site (Spilled …). I have now been through all your Moriah adoption posts, and just to warn anyone else reading them – Get the Kleenex ready!

    May God bless you in this endeavour, and may He open hearts so that people will give what they can. I only wish I could give a lot more. Will pray for you all 🙂

    Love, Anne, in (not so sunny!) Scotland xx

    Would you please do a guestpost for me on this? I would love to share your story with my readers, but I’m totally not going to be able to put into words all this means to you and your family! I feel like I didn’t give your sponsorship the recogniton it deserved, so please let me put your widget on my sidebar for at least the rest of the month or possibly until you have her home, let me know what we can work out!

    Oh, Meghan, that’s a smashing idea! Once you write a guest post, could I share it on my blog too? The sooner the better. Is this okay, Meghan?

    I will only chip in for children to be raised in Muslim homes. Or Jewish homes. Buddhist homes too. But Christian? Nah…..
