Smile… Because It’s Friday!

It’s $5 Friday again y’all! We are so thankful for what the Lord has done for us, and for all of you who have been so kind to help us. Many of you have been such a blessing to us whether it be through praying for us or financial support or both.

When Jonathan and I got married we knew that there was the potential for us to have some struggles, but I have to say I never thought we would be facing IVF because it was our last option. When we were told the approximate amount that we would need for this procedure we were completely overwhelmed. To us the idea of having to come up with possibly $20,000 just seemed unfathomable!

When we started raising the money about 10 months ago we knew that people would help, but I’ll admit that I didn’t think it would be like this! I don’t take for granted that we have what we have. What a blessing it is!

When we found out that we were not going to receive the grant I told Jonathan that while it would have been great to have help from the Cade Foundation that I thought it would be more special and meaningful to receive the total amount through our friends and family.

For all of you who do not know us as well as some others do, I hope that as you read our blog you will see our hearts desire is to have a family, but first and foremost is the desire to please the Lord. After all… He alone is the giver of life.

Thanks again to all of you for your love and support. Please continue to pray for us and if you are able, give.

I can honestly say first hand that I 100% agree with the small and simple promise found in God’s Word… For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

  1. Thank you, Mrs. Willis for thinking of us and sharing this website with us. What a wonderful blessing it is to know that we have people behind us and supporting us. Jonathan and I both looked through this website and we are gonna hang on to the link. We do believe right now that the Lord is leading us to do IVF, but if it is unsuccessful we will pursue adoption in some way. We were given the option to do embryo adoption at the same time as IVF. We prayed for a very long time waiting for God to give us direction for what He wanted us to do. Since IVF was our last option though before adoption we believe He was leading us in this direction first. However, if the Lord ever leads us that way we are definitely willing to adopt a precious little one into our home! Thanks again and God bless you all. 🙂
