We're at the sage where when the phone rings I hold my breath and check caller ID. I never know who might call, or what news they might share. :)
This morning the phone rang. Caller ID read "LifeSong for Orphans". This is the organization we had applied for a grant through, and I knew we were going to be hearing soon if we were going to be awarded one. I was nervously excited when I answered. Becky was on the other end and she was wanting to know how things were going & how our birthmom was doing. Then...she said she'd received the decision back the board had made about our file...
And the news is..........
We have been awarded a $2500 matching grant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now $2500 might not sound like much, but that's where the matching part comes in! For those unfamiliar to matching grants, this means that every dollar up to $2500 donated towards our adoption through our Lifesong account. Which in the end means $5000 towards our adoption costs!!!!!!!!!! and $5000 is HUGE!!!!!!! Especially when we've only $6000 left to raise!!!
How great is our GOD for providing!!!!!!!! We're blown away by Lifesong's generosity. We know there are so many well deserving families who need help funding their adoptions & we're humbled that we were chosen for this matching grant!
I'm going to put together all the info in a following blog post! In the mean time...PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
We'd love if you'd rejoice in God's provision with us above all else!!
Blessings,
Alison, Cheyenne & Karis
