A letter from Micki:
When Heather and Shannon told me that they were going to adopt their next child from Africa, I was so excited!! I had, had a dream about a cute little dark skinned child that was a part of the family. I can’t wait to meet my new little great nice or nephew. Then a sense of urgency came over me……. One of the kids in my family is across the ocean, and needs to come home to her family that is waiting here to love and hold. Big brother…Will, can teach how to put out fires (a future fireman) and, Miles how to give good sugars, (Miles has the best kisses ever!!)
We need to get this child home to her family!!
Heather and Shannon came up with a great idea!! If five hundred people gave just 70 dollars, this little one could come home.
The only problem was I am broke over Christmas, Taxes, bills, the economy, a hundred reasons I didn’t have the money to give right now!! But…. what would you do for one of your children? I know you would do anything to make sure your children are safe, warm and fed.
So I made a commitment for 70 dollars even though I don’t have it! (Crazy right??) I prayed and asked God to provide the funds.
I work at a Spa in Brevard, doing nails and facials…. I receive tips for the services. The next day after work, I checked my tip folder, there was exactly 70 dollars!!!
So here was the answer, as always…
He is able…. 2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Thank you for your help and prayers,
Aunt Micki
