God planted the seeds, our eyes and hearts were open and we're taking that leap of faith into unknown territory where only God Himself can be revealed. Proverbs 24:12 tell us: "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible." So with much joy, we welcome you on our journey to bring home a baby girl from Ethiopia!

31 Bags & Donations....

One of my bff's with a beautiful heart
Selling cute bags with the proceeds going towards Tse Tse's orphanage. 
And Mama couldn't help but add a little "Africa flair"
Dear T,
Over these past few months, we have been given the privilege to see hearts melted by your story-including our own hearts. So many people graciously want to help you, your orphanage & your country. Last night was one of those nights where friends came together, showed their support and through that we were able to raise some money for your orphanage and they were able to go home with some cute 31 bags(-:  From the people who showed up, to the dear friend that gave of her time & proceeds, to those who have been dropping off donations to give to your orphanage, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. It has been neat to see God's people unite in this cause.

Bringing all of this stuff with us in the next few weeks hits close to my heart. If it weren't for the families who came before us and the work that God did in their hearts, I'm pretty confident we wouldn't have seen all those chubby rolls on your referral picture(-:  Today, I just sit here grateful for the true friends God has blessed us with. We can't wait to show up in Africa with more bags than we can physically handle and formula to last for months...and of course to see the sweet little girl we've been longing to see for almost a year and a half! Love you Tse Tse -you are going to be welcomed home by a pretty amazing group of friends!
