Lucky Illinois and fundraising

From what I have heard, IL is one of the only states that requires your homestudy to be approved by DCFS before submitting it your agency. We have been waiting for over 2 months now for the approval. We were told it would take 6 weeks at the most. It is frustrating not being able to do anything to help along the process. But again we give it to God and know that its in HIS hands!

So we continue to wait.

In the meantime we have been able to get some more fundraising done. We had our 2nd yard sale at the church last weekend. Between the sale at our house and the one at the church we made a grand total of $2,926.37. This has been AMAZING. We are so blessed with wonderful people in our lives!! Thank you to everyone who has had a part in helping us!! We are sooooo thankful! We have also sold almost $3,000 in cards. We are getting close to having all $8,000 that we need to send in our Dossier.

It's amazing that we aren't going to have to take out a loan for this portion. Going into this we thought there was no way that we could save/raise all the money up to this point. God has been doing awesome things in our lives and putting amazing people who support us along this journey. We are definitely reminded not to put limits on our God!!
