Where is the Ticker?

Some of you have noticed the ticker is gone from the top of the blog. It's coming back. I wish it was gone because we are funded, but that is not the case. It is gone because I needed to re-work the numbers. Plane tickets are more than I originally planned and I thought we owed our agency $5,800 for our last installment, turns out we owed them $6,250. Not a huge deal, but every dollar adds up, quickly.

So, what do we do? We drag our mountain back into the presence of the Lord where we believe it will melt like wax. Will you help us pray? Pray and share our need. That God would speak to hearts and help bring our boys home. We have court on April 10th and expect to travel just a couple of weeks later.

We find ourselves still needing $3,500, about $2,000 more than the original ticker showed. We're just going to start again with a new ticker. The LAST one! When it's full we'll be done. Praise God! The end is in sight. As humbling as it is to ask for help, again. We need you. We can't do it without your help.

Thank you to each one who has already given sacrificially. Do you want to know how much we will have raised when it's all said and done? I think you'd be amazed at how big this mountain actually was. We've been chipping away for a year, now, and while I would have loved for God to just move it all at once, it has been a blessing each time another stone was kicked over. Every time one of you gave and another piece of the mountain fell our hearts have been encouraged. You inspire us to give more generously and to love more freely.

Thank you!

Hidden in Christ,
Mandy
