Camp Meeting Recap!

Well, camp meeting is over, and we are back in full home-study swing!!
The week was wonderful and it was SO good to see so many of my best friends and family! It's hard to even describe all of the things the Lord did for me last week.  From the sweet fellowship, and working together with our church family to serve so many people- to the Lord challenging and encouraging my heart thru the preaching and singing, it was really a wonderful time. On Tuesday night, Spencer and I were shocked when our Pastor (who happens to be Spencer's grandpa) got up and told a little bit of our story, and said that the Lord had told him to do something to help us. So many generous people started bringing money up to the front, and by the time it was all said and done, the kind people there had given over $1,600.00 for our adoption fund!! EXACTLY what we needed for our home study. At this point someone asked me, "Can you believe that God sent you the exact amount that you needed for that step?", to which I replied "At this point, OF COURSE!!". God has been SO faithful to supply every dollar for every step that we need and it still amazes me when HE works out little details like that. I never want to take it for granted! We are seriously overwhelmed with all of the love and support shown to us. We are so thankful to each of you, and are humbled that you would contribute to help us start our family.

We still have a long way to go, but we are marking things off our list, and can't wait to get this home-study finished! We've finished our questionnaires, almost done with our autobiographies, we got our passports in the mail last week, and this week (hopefully) we can get our FBI fingerprints taken and mailed off. Maycee has to have a check up, we have to have our physicals, and we still have a couple more parenting lessons we have to do. But, hopefully we are nearing the end! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and we can't wait to get started with our interviews, and then get started on our dossier!  Exciting times ahead, and I can't wait to share them with you all! :)  xoxo, Steff <3
