New Years Fundraising

I am offering babysitting services on New Years Eve / New Years Day in order to raise money for our adoption. If you or anybody you know will be looking for a babysitter, please let me know! I can watch up to 5/6 kids by myself and can probably find a co-sitter if it is for a larger group!

Contact me by e-mail at themccallfamily@insightbb.com. :)

Thank you, Lord {Day 12}

Lord,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to coach softball this year. I honestly never thought about coaching softball after graduation because I was so sure that I would have a full-time teaching job and be working on KTIP all year. Thankfully, when that job didn't come, this opportunity did. I know I am coaching THE BEST girls at one of the best schools in the area. Help us to bond as a team and kick butt this season. Help me to make the most of every practice, game and moment we spend together. Help us to grow as softball players but also grow as well-rounded young women.

Thank you, Lord (Day 11)

Lord,
Today as I was doing laundry, I knew I had to thank you for it. It might sound strange, thanking you for laundry, but as I was sorting and folding, I realized that every outfit represented another day lived. I can so easily take those days for granted, but the (once dirty) clothes, now clean, represent days lived and so quickly gone by. Thank you for a husband's clothes to wash. Every day that I get to wash and put away his clothes means another day we were together. So today I thank you for the opportunity to do laundry. :)

Thank you, Lord {Day 10}

Lord,
Thank you for how hard-working Alex is. I cannot (and know I do not) praise him enough for all the hard work he does to provide for our family. We are so blessed with the job that he has. Thank you for giving me someone that on days like today (his day off), he will go to meetings from 8-5 and not complain once about it. Thank you for all that he does for us, and help me to learn from his example. Amen.

Coffee for a Cause :)

UPDATE: SOLD!!! :)

So occasionally you will see me post various personal items that we are selling in order to raise funds to bring our little girl home. Today, I present the first item we have up for bids: Keurig Single-Serve Coffee Maker! Alex and I bought this with some of our wedding money and hardly ever use it (less than 10 times in the past 2+ years)... so we are deciding to part with it to whomever will make us the best offer! It is a great item that coffee lovers can enjoy. With it, I am including the carousel and many single cup brews! All items are in excellent condition. Comment or email for more pictures or to make an offer. It is going toward a great cause! :)

Retail Value: $180.00

Retail Value: $25.00

Thank you, Lord {Day 9}

Lord,
You are faithful! Today I am thankful that our friends {who are a lot further along in the adoption process}, got their referral today! Reading their blog from the early days (where we are now) and now seeing you keep your promises to them by bringing a sweet son into their life, is nothing short of YOU being faithful to those who answer your call. Hopefully a year from now, it will be US getting that REFERRAL phone call and celebrating your faithfulness once again. Today we are thankful for what you have done for them and the little one you have brought into their family.

Thank you, Lord {Day 8)

Lord,
Thank you for days of rest. Sometimes those are just the days we need. 

Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16
