We are being Blessed Everyday!!

Every since we started Just One fundraiser we have been totally blessed by everyone's love and generosity. The most amazing thing is that every single day we have had a donation whether it has been a $1 or $50. First we Praise God because he provides all we need and secondly we thank all of you all that are helping to spread the word of Just One! Honestly, when I was first excited about this fundraiser I thought this is going to be awesome we will have the $10,000 we need in no time; all we need is 10,000 people a little crazy now that I think about it, but  hey I believe in dreaming big!  The even more amazing thing is that God is teaching me so much more about faith. We know that we are heading in the right direction of adoption and we know that somehow we will save and raise all the money we need, but what we didn't anticipate was all the faith that we would be building in the process. Each day we recieve a little or save a little more, I realize that our steps of faith are being affirmed. I mean, honestly, I never in my life thought that we would have almost half saved that we need for the adoption. Some days they are baby steps and sometimes their giant leaps but most importantly they are drawing us closer to God and of course our baby Hornbaker. I pray and encourage anyone who reads this to take a step of faith that you may need to no telling where it will lead you, it may be difficult at times but I fully believe that in the end it will all be worth it!

Our Journey Begins

So as some of you know and others of you don't know, Josh and I are starting the adoption process. We decided to start this blog so that our friends and family could keep up with us throughout the journey. Our prayer as we go through this journey is that first and foremost we see God working more and more each day and that the people in our lives see God. To catch everyone up, this decision did not come instantly nor did it come without some struggle and pain. We have been trying to have a family for five years now. We thought that we would have a family as soon as Josh graduated from seminary and then after we had a few biological children we would adopt a child. But little did we know those were our plans not God's plan. Through the past five years we have struggled, prayed, cried, tried some fertility treatments, and in the end no baby Hornbaker. Over the past year, through much prayer the Lord has guided us toward adoption. That in of itself was quite a process. One minute...

Gold for Good Campaign | Hornbaker Adoption

As many of you know by now, we have begun the process for the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker. We’ve appreciated the prayer and support you’ve given us as we have started this journey. You can read more about our journey, the fears and future here at our blog. You might also know that the process is rather lengthy AND expensive (around $25,000). And let’s face it, we didn’t get into full time ministry to get rich! We’d like to ask if you would consider joining us in a campaign to help us reach our goal so that the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker can become a reality.  Here is where you come in:  We’ve partnered with Exodus 35 campaigns (ex35.org) to do a “Gold for Good” campaign. This type of campaign would simply ask if you’d be willing to donate your used, broken or unwanted Gold on our behalf for our Adoption. The proceeds would then be melted down at a refinery, with the proceeds going directly for the Adoption. We are believing and praying that friends would be willing to give away the g...

Reached another Goal!

We are excited to announce that through donations, t-shirt sells, and ripping out kitchen cabinets we were able to meet our second financial goal. With this blessing we are able to have enough money for the birthmother expense. Even when things were looking a little rough a couple of days ago, God can take a situation and give you hope and affirm that what you are doing is truly what He has planned for you!  Now we are working towards our third financial goal, which is the matching expense. For those of you who are wondering what a "matching" expense would be, it is when we will be matched with a birthmother then we need to pay that expense, it covers various fees related to finding birthmothers. Being matched is when both parties agree to move forward with the adoption process together. Please continue to pray for the process and for our financial needs to be met. We appreciate all of your support!
