Happy New Year?

Wow! Where did this year go? Does it feel like it flew by to you? I'm betting that it didn't seem so quick for our girl, Meredith. Another year of waiting to be chosen. Another year with no one to call her own. I'm packing up our Christmas decorations, but I can't put Meredith's ornament in a box. I'm searching for the perfect place to hang her picture, so we remember to pray everyday for her family to come. Maybe you'll join me in making praying for Meredith's forever family to find her part of your New Year's Resolution.

We often resolve to do great big things and fail miserably by January 15th. Here's something we can succeed at. We can join together and pray and share Meredith with everyone we meet, so that her family will be found this year. Will you join our family?

Thank you to everyone who gave to help Meredith reach her angel tree goal. It has been and continues to be a privilege to advocate for this sweet girl. Continuing to believe for Meredith's Miracle in 2012!

Blessings,
Mandy

I am overwhelmed with gratitude this morning. My friend, Julia helped carry the load of raising Meredith's Angel Tree funds. I hesitated to commit to being her Christmas Warrior because I knew we'd be in the middle of travelling to meet our boys. God knows, I love this little girl. I committed and intended to focus the last three weeks in December on Meredith, raising the $1,000 needed for her Angel Tree goal. Thanks to Julia the goal has been met!

You can read the celebration post on Julia's blog. There you will find some other babies who have not met their goal, yet. Please, consider donating to one of them. Help us find their families by sharing their faces and their stories with your friends and family. I'm thankful to Julia for answering God's call to help the orphans and for making my burden lighter this Christmas season. Now, we can focus on finding Meredith's family. Donations are still encouraged and will go a long way toward helping her forever family bring her home. I cannot wait to write the post that says Meredith's family has found her!

Still praying for Meredith's Christmas Miracle and thankful God allowed me to be a small part of it.

Blessings,
Mandy
