Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

May all my readers have a wonderful Christmas and may you not forget the true meaning of CHRISTmas.

Reece's Rainbow on Sevenly

We thank you for considering purchasing a shirt or hoodie from Sevenly.  For sharing the need for families for these precious children.  For believing that a life is worthy to be lived by our daughter who was born to another woman, in a country across the world. Until the day she becomes ours.  And then her plain-old life can go on as it was always meant to.

Loved.  Wanted.  Cherished.  Worthy.  Filled.  Overflowing.  And ours.  And hers.

Giveback Giveaway

We still have our Giveback giveaway going on.  We are currently waiting on a list of donors to do the drawing for the halfway giveback.  As soon as I get them, I will announce the winner.

We still are in need of funds to help us be fully funded for the first trip.  We got tickets this week and they where almost twice as much as originally budgeted, and we tried for the cheapest we could get. We need our FSP (the Reece's Rainbow button on the left) to ready $8,439.88. We had to also reapply for our visas due to change in travel dates, so this was an unexpected expense.

Now, because of this new development and because we are currently in the middle of the giveaway, I am leaving the Kindle in the giveaway (originally was only going to keep it in the giveaway if we reach a goal of $6,060, which we did not).  However due to the size of the amount needed I am leaving the second prize in this giveaway. We must reach our goal by 4 Jan 2012 since this will enable us to transfer the money to the appropriate account so we can use it for our trip.

So, here is the run down of the giveaway.

THE FIRST PLACE PRIZE

You choose: 

Keurig package (includes Kuerig, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate) or $250 donation to Reece's Rainbow or 

Signing Time Complete Series 1 (vol 1-13), Shine CD, 6 board books

 THE SECOND PLACE PRIZE: 

Kindle Fire (It can have Wi-Fi, Full Color 7" Multi-Touch Display. (retail value $199)

Here is how you make a donation:
 

$5 donation = 1 entry
 $10 donation = 3 entries
$25 donation = 8 entries

$50 donation = 17 entries
$75 donation = 37 entries

$100 donation = 50 entries

You can also get one (1) entry by sharing (max of one per day).  This can be done through Facebook or email. Feel free to tag our Facebook page in your post. You MUST leave a comment here on where you left the share other wise you entry may not be counted (if you include your email in the comment, I will not post it, but dont worry it will be counted).  You can include me on an email.



HOW TO MAKE A DONATION:
Make a tax deductible donation to Reece's Rainbow FSP (the button on the left)

Ending the Giveback Giveaway

This giveaway will end on 4 January or when FSP reads $8,000 (which ever comes first). Once the goal has been met , I will post on this blog and facebook that a 24 hour notice has been given for people who would like to enter, then a winner will be selected via random.org

Winners will have 42 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen.

Halfway Giveback

We have reached our halfway giveback.  That means we have raised $2,500.  That means, we will be choosing a name (through random.com) as soon as I get a list from Reece's Rainbow. I will only get amounts and names.  If you wish to not be included due to wanting to remain anonymous, please contact RR. Someone from RR will contact you if you won, although I will post first name and last name initial. The midway winner will choose an RR family/child (does not have to be a committed child) to receive $100 donation. So, stay tune...I will post soon and thank you to all who helps us get this far.

We have travel dates

Finally received travel dates and as much as we wanted to travel this month, it will not happen.  So, we will travel next month.  It does give us time to get our court documents together which would help move the process along.  (sorry for such a short post, but wanted to up date everyone on the great news)
