This I Know.

For some reason God has given me this platform to blog for Good. HIS Good.
This I Know. 

Remember Anna?
Last month I had a giveaway featuring Anna & her Shop Simply Beautiful B & B.
Anna has her Etsy shop to raise money for their Adoption, a sweet boy in Uganda she met 2 years ago.

 Anna & her family is at a critical point with their Adoption process. They need to raise $2,000 more dollars in the next couple weeks. Anna posted this on Instagram this week. She is trying to sell 10 of her body butters a day for the next 10 days. 

I stole this from Anna's Instagram. She posted this picture & caption yesterday:

Friends, meet M. I met him 2 years ago. I loved him like a momma immediately. Fast forward a couple of years, a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, some health issues with or kids, and the Lord has finally said YES. Go. Adopt. So, we prayed and prayed. We'd go out in obedience and try to adopt, but we had zero idea where the $$$ would come from. So we prayed. And decided to launch 100 butters campaign, to raise about half of what our first initial chunk is. M is waiting...the faster we raise the ransom, the faster he comes home. So, this Is the 3rd day of the 100 butters campaign. I sold 20 orders in 2 days! This morning I'd prayed very specifically that someone would order 5 body butters on one order-I knew that'd be a lot, but I prayed! And around lunchtime, I received an email that made me set the phone down and compose myself. Some sweet, sweet friend wanted to place an order for $150 worth of products! Along with today's orders, we have sold 45 body butters in 3 days!!!! That's almost HALF. Rejoice with me, friends! And the story doesn't stop there. My husband called me, and we received an unexpected check related to something entirely else, and with YOUR ORDERS and this check, we are within DAYS of being able to wire money to move a HUGE step forward. Friends, one week ago we were at ZERO.
