{ a dream }
As a lot of you know, Funnel and I are planning on adopting one day, so I read a lot of adoption blogs. One of my favorites is A Bushel and a Peck. Lisa is the author, and she and her husband have 11 children – 4 of them are adopted from Ethiopia. One of her adopted daughters, “Honeybee” has a dream of going back to Ethiopia and visiting her grandmother and welcoming home one of her friends who is going to be adopted! Plane tickets to Ethiopia are expensive, but Honeybee really believes God will provide a way for her to go.
Lisa is auctioning off a beautiful quilt on her blog to raise the money for her daughter’s ticket to Ethiopia. Raffle tickets are only $5, or you can buy 5 for $20. If you donate today (November 19th), Lisa will double the amount of entries for the amount you donate!
Instead of spending $5 on Starbucks today, will you join with me in helping to send Honeybee to Ethiopia?

Definitley. I’ll be doing my ‘church money stuff’ tonight, and I’ll make a point to give. Thank you for giving me the knowledge of this very worthy cause!

Ann.. that’s awesome! I hope Funnel and I have a family like that one day.

Did you see the latest blog with Honeybee looking at the final donation numbers on the computer? So sweet! Child-like faith inspires me every.single.time. Why must we adults make life so complicated? Thanks for introducing us to this blog Jen. I’m so inspired by their story and can’t stop thinking of them. I keep wondering what the Lord would have us do.
(also, it was great to read their review of “The Blind Side” – Dan and I wanted to treat the whole family for a night out to go see this movie together – you guys in?)
