SJ's Bandaloom Business Update~

Sometimes God teaches us big lessons through the faith of our children.

Remember that little bandaloom business SJ decided to start back a few weeks ago?~

{My thoughts: Just let her do so she thinks she is helping bring CallaAnne home}...

BOY was I in for a Faith Check!!!

What I thought was just a whim turned out to be big blessings~

EK has helped her make over half of them and now she is teaching Evie.

As of today SJ has raised $200 and there are orders still pending.

No, she hasn't made that many bracelets but people are just that kind

and helping to build her faith in God's provision for our adoption.

There have been other donations given to our family over the last week as well

and we are excited to announce being chosen to fundraise 

with Project: Love One!

{More info to share very soon!}

Matthew 18:3

And he said: "Truly I tell you, 

unless you change and become like little children, 

you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

SJ's Little Band Bracelet Business~

Remember me saying we met with our social worker over the last week or so?

We love her because she has helped us with half of our children's home studies

and now with CallaAnne so it's like welcoming an old friend back again.

In the times we met with Heather she shared things about her sweet family

and one really stuck with SJ.

She told us her kids had really loved selling band bracelets they made to people in their neighborhood

and SJ decided she wanted to do that too.

(To help bring CallaAnne home)

That very afternoon she gathered her supplies and got busy

with two brothers looking on who would become her partners~

I just happen to share this pic on FB and IG and instantly SJ was in business

with really more than she could believe possible.

Her hope was to sit at the top of the driveway and sell to our neighbors

so she made a sign and I set her up~

She made $2 and was quite proud

but was floored when I told her she had orders for more than 50 online.

WHAT?

It would take SJ, EK, and even Mimi to get the orders filled.

(We are still filling them so please don't give up on us. :)

NOW the background story...

In the meantime while SJ has been making bracelets like crazy,

Scott and I have been talking with a sweet friend at 314 Productions about

shooting a film sharing our adoption story in hopes of moving hearts on this journey as well.

The film will be shot on Wednesday of next week

and would you believe SJ has raised the WHOLE fee for the film???

Isn't God amazing?

That a little business she thought was just for fun

actually made a HUGE difference for CallaAnne and hopefully many more sweet ones waiting for their Forever!!!
