Transitions

Yesterday was a big day in the Crossgrove household.  Our eldest child left for college.  We packed up a car full of stuff and left for Millersville University...spent the day unpacking and organizing her room.  After dinner, we posed for pictures outside the dorm and said goodbye.  I am in my office today with the mix of emotion as I know she is ready to launch into this next stage of life, and at the same time, I have that low-grade anxiety of knowing that my child is stepping out on her own.  As three of my four children are presently living outside of my home (one at college, and two in Honduras), I am learning to walk in faith and trust my children in the Lord's hands.  We haven't heard anything new regarding the adoption, so we continue to wait.  In the meantime, we are working on some fund raising ideas...there is the matching grant through Lifesong for Orphans, we have the 100 wishes quilt, Just Love Coffee, and we are doing a Krispe Kreme sale in September.  I will post more about each of these later.  Here are some picture of Ariana going off to college.

Matching Grant

Earlier this year, before we had received our adoption referral, we had decided to take our family vacation in Mexico with a team from our church on a mission trip.  We returned yesterday from our trip and had received an email from Lifesong for Orphans that our application for a grant had been approved, and that we had also been approved for a $3000 matching grant.  What a blessing this is to us as we sat down to estimate the remaining costs of the adoption.  If you are able to help by giving to meet this matching grant, you can use the widget on the sidebar of our blog, or click below.

We have been able to write messages to Ashton and Alia and  have heard back that they are doing well, but they miss us as we miss them.  Please pray that the time until our second trip will be short.
