Umm...

Some of you might be wondering, aside from participating in our Scentsy fundraiser, what you can do to help right now...

The biggest thing is to pray for us! We're scared. Mostly about the money. Let's face it, we're human. We KNOW that if God is for us, then He's going to provide, but to be honest, it seems impossible. So please pray for peace of mind.

Second, if you would rather just donate money than to wait for a fundraiser, you can do that, too! I have a PayPal button set up on the right side of the page that will allow you to just give a one-time donation (of any amount!). Seriously, $5, $10, $25, whatever you can give! It all adds up!

Then, if you're a coffee junkie, you can purchase coffee through Just Love Coffee and $5 from every bag will go directly to us! (Not sure if/how it works on their merchandise.) There are several different flavors, so I'm sure they'd have one you'd like (click on their logo on the right side of the blog and it will take you directly to our "store").

We will also have a Thirty-One fundraiser in March (www.thirtyonegifts.com - if you want to take a look at their products beforehand you can go here, but when we start this one, we'll have a special link for our party).

I'm also taking donations now for an adoption auction, which will start at the beginning of February. Anything you have (preferably brand new, never used items) that you want to donate will be helpful! This can be anything from a service you offer (photography, massages/facials, etc) to products you sell, to items laying around the house that you just want to get rid of. :) Seriously, anything! Every little bit will help! Hopefully hubby will be making a toy box and/bookshelf as well (solid wood, beautiful pieces!).

I've also got a t-shirt design(s) in the works and then will be setting up a store with Adoption Bug that will have 6 different designs. Hopefully I''ll have that up and going shortly.

I have set up an account with ThredUp as well, so if you have some nice unused kids clothes lying around that you would like to get rid of, you can go to our website we have set up and request a bag be sent to you. You send the clothes in, they evaluate them and then whatever amount they deem them worth, they donate to our account. And then, they will match up to $1,000! Super easy! (The link is on the left side of the blog or click this link: http://www.thredup.com/groups/188-grown-by-god)

Then I'm looking into doing something like an iPad drawing...more info to come on that (hopefully!).

And if you are unable to purchase anything or give money (I promise you, it's okay! I will still love you at the end of the day!), please, please pray for us! For this whole process, for our child, for us, for Maleeya...seriously...cover us in prayers! We love you all and appreciate you!
