Today was a very special day – our first trip out of the area that was NOT to go to the doctor! We headed south to attend an event for the Highland Compassion Orphan Ministry, which is the ministry that was recently launched at my mom’s church (the one who so graciously hosted a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for us just days before we received our referral)!
They launched their first annual “Run for Orphans,”a 5K that was designed to raise orphan awareness & funds for Life Song. What a blessing to get to have Annaliese be a part of this!! HCC has really gone above & beyond to support our adoption process and MANY individuals in this congregation have been praying for her for months! It was neat to get to introduce her to so many of them : )
Go Grandma Jane!
Go Madonna!
After the 5K, there was a “Fun Run” for the
children. At first she was not interested in doing this, but changed her mind
after the other kids started running. She completed the first half of it slowly, but then took off for the second half : )
It turned out to be a very nice day and a memory we will treasure for quite some time. Thanks, HCC, for your love and support!!
