{Project Baby B} An Update

I wanted to update you all on that Daniel & Lyndsie are in the process of adopting a precious baby boy! It is with their permission that I share this news with you, it is an answer to prayer for the them! Their baby boy is at home with them now as they continue and finalize the final legal things they need to to adopt this child.

It is with great excitement & JOY that I congratulate them on becoming a family and adopting this sweet child!! I want to do my best to protect their privacy and honor this family as best I can.

With that said, I have chosen to continue along with this fundraiser for their adoption costs as there are many costs involved in choosing to adopt a child. I also want to make note of two things; one is that it was on my heart and my CHOICE to have this fundraiser in the first place it was also my choice to donate the proceeds of Ava's Closet to this cause. Two, EVERY LAST SPONSOR OF THIS FUNDRAISER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE BROOKERS ADOPTING AND ALL HAVE CHOSEN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ME IN THIS FUNDRAISER!

No one was misled and there is no dishonesty happening with this fundraiser. I ask that we respect this family and their privacy and REJOICE with them during this time. I am so happy and excited for the Brookers as they become a family and experience the joys and all the amazing moments that come with parenthood!

CONGRATS!

I am reminded of John 16:33 during this time. Take heart, Jesus has overcome the WORLD and he will over come any rumours or negativity surrounding this time. This is and will be the last time I will address this on the blog.

{Project Baby B} How You Can Help

Hello Everyone!!

Today I wanted to take the time to tell you how you can be apart and help Daniel and Lyndsie in their adoption efforts.

Last Fall they were heavy on my mind and my heart. It was around that time that I really started praying and dreaming of a way that I could help them.

They have been on my heart and mind a lot these last few months, I pray for them daily and believe with them that someday soon they will bring their baby home. Orion and I struggled with infertility before we got pregnant with Ava. At the time it was very hard to walk through, I couldn't imagine never being able to have a child. I know only a small piece of what it is like to yearn for a child of my own. I truly believe that adoption is one of the most selfless things a family can do. The choice to make a child that isn't biologically your own yours is an amazing thing. And I really think it shows a true picture of how Christ loved us.

This got me to thinking; How can I help them? I mean really help them?! I talked to my husband about donating the proceeds from Ava's Closet to their adoption fund, he agreed that it was a wonderful idea.

I wanted to do more for them, it was on my heart to do a fundraiser with them in mind to help them raise awareness and funds for their adoption to bring their child home. They are such a unique and special couple, with amazing hearts I would just love to do something to bless them. The Lord has laid it on my heart to raise $1000 for their adoption fund, and I truly believe that together we can do that!!!

From now until the end of the month half of the proceeds from Ava's Closet will be donated to the Brooker's adoption fund! You can go here to shop:

{Project Baby B} Meet Daniel & Lyndsie!!!!!

I'm so excited about this week and to have the chance to introduce you to Daniel & Lyndsie! I have been reading their blog and following along with their lives for a little over a year now. I first stumbled upon their blog March of last year, and was instantly hooked by their love story, their positive outlook on life and their love for the Lord was very evident in everything they said and did. It came across through their blog in such a powerful way. You can read my first post about them here on my blog.

They have the most amazing and sweetest love stories I've ever heard. It's inspiring and so touching. What I love most about this couple is how positive and encouraging they are towards life and others. They are always praying for others, they are always selfless and so encouraging on their blog through their words to everyone who reads it. I know myself and other's included have been blessed by them and their ministry because that is really what it is.

 

Here's a little bit more about this sweet couple: {from them}

Daniel and I are just two ordinary people who want to share with the world the extraordinary "Love Story" the Lord has written for us! We truly believe that we have....A Love Worth Waiting For! Daniel and I met in the Summer of 2000 at a Summer camp. I was 13 and Daniel was 15. We didn't realize it then, but even at such a young age God was already writing our love story! Daniel and I have been through a lot during the past 10 years that we have known each other! In the Spring of 2006 at the age of 19, I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and then again in the Spring of 2008. Unfortunately in the Spring of 2008 at the age of 21, I had to have a total hysterectomy. Even though this was absolutely devastating for us, we know that God still has a plan! After 7 months of intense chemo, on April 25th 2009 Daniel and I were married!! Our wedding day was the best day of ours lives! April 25th 2009 I married my prince charming, my soul mate, my best friend, and my dream come true! I couldn't have asked the Lord for a better man to call my husband!


After 2 years of marriage Daniel and I are still so in love and we are so thankful that we have such a wonderful marriage! We praise the Lord each and every day that I am CANCER FREE and have been for 3 years!! I am doing absolutely wonderful and my Dr has told me that I am perfectly healthy! We give all of the glory to the Lord Jesus Christ!!

Our prayer is that our lives will always bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ and that together we will be vessels worthy of His use! Through all the trials and uncertainty, the Lord has always been faithful and His grace has always been sufficient! Even though this journey has been hard and there have been days when we just don't understand...we realize that every step that we have taken on this journey and every step we are going to take has brought us closer to the Lord, closer to each other, and one step closer to our baby!

Isn't that an awesome story!! And Praise the Lord for Lyndsie's healing and her health! I love what Daniel and Lyndsie have chosen, they have chosen to love the Lord, have faith and believe in his promises in not so ideal circumstances, even when things aren't pretty, when things are not as they expected!

I admire and I'm inspired by their strength and love for the Lord in their daily lives! Thank you for taking the time to read this, I'm so excited for what the Lord has done, and is going to do in their lives. I know and truly believe that he is already working out the fine details for them to bring their baby home.

Come back tomorrow to hear how you can help and be apart of Daniel & Lyndsie's story and help bring "Baby B" home!
