Can you help?

Alright, I wanna post a couple of things to share with you all. 1 giveaway that I found out and 3 really important things that maybe you'll help out with.

1. JunkPosse has an awesome giveaway today! You need to check out the necklace on her blog! Go leave a comment and then FB, blog, or tweet about it to enter. She's choosing a winner on Jan. 20th.

2. The Shubin family is adopting a little girl from Ethiopia and selling awesome t-shirts. Brian has a long-sleeve one and he loves it! It is so soft. Isabel is super excited to get her pink one in the mail! She loves packages. Anyway, they needed to sell about 100 shirts total to pay for their first trip soon! They just need to sell 64 more now!



3. A really great non-profit that we love called Caroline's Promise has applied for a grant through Kindermusik International that would allow them to build a library at Casita Adonai in Guatemala City. Your vote makes a huge difference! You can vote 10x a day between now and February 9. You have to wait 24 hours between votes so if you vote today at 2pm you have to wait until tomorrow at 2pm to vote. Here's how it works:
Visit www.kindermusik.com/legacy/grants. Choose - Ideas listed by votes. CP should be near the top! Their project is "Development of library for inner city school in Guatemala" and the name Lisa Holbrook is beside it. Here is a little video about the project.

4. A local family that we have met through our local adoption network really needs our help! Last December they received a referral for a little boy that they had planned to name Moses but the region that he is from closed to adoptions right about the same time! They waited and waited for many months for everything to open up again but it didn't so they had to make a hard decision and accept a referral for another little boy. That little boy is now their son but they still knew that Moses would be their son too if the region ever opened up again. Last week they found out that Moses is officially available for adoption again! It's a miracle! He is paperwork ready and all that is standing between them and their son is $14,000. I have seen God provide in miraculous ways before so I know it is possible! If you would like to help this family go to: http://www.christianworldfoundation.org/home.htm
