Matt and I thoroughly enjoyed our time of worship with everyone at the concert. But to be honest, I must also admit that my heart is broken. Our concert did not produce the attendance we had hoped for or expected. Many have opinions as to why. Well-inteneded as they are, I am much too vulnerable to hear them. I do not want to believe anything that is not true. Matt and I need to hear directly from our God. Is He teaching us something? Did we miss something? Did we do nothing wrong and this is just part of His plan?
I am very broken right now and cannot offer much at this point. All I know right now is this:
1. The artists (Jimmy Needham & Kimber Rising) were INCREDIBLE. They performed as if we had 10,000 in attendance. They offered MUCH encouragement to Matt and I. Our lives are blessed because of them. I pray that God drastically grows their ventures, because they truly love and serve our LORD.
2. Those who came were EXTREMELY generous. And it was obvious that they had a blast and left blessed. I hope you know how very grateful we are for your support and encouragement.

There is not one doubt in my mind that Matt and I are adopting. We aren’t adopting out of compulsion but because we desperately want to! I am devastated right now, and I’m afraid. I have no idea what God is trying to tell Matt and I … I have no idea how we will pay for this adoption.
Right now, we are standing still and waiting for God to tell us something. In the meantime, I've been praying and reading His Word. Still, nothing fascinates or comforts me like Bible study. I am thankful that I hear Him when I read my Bible.
Will you please pray for us?
