Sharing the Good News

Our Sweet Madison turned 10 a few weeks ago. We planned a small party for family and a couple friends. Madison asked me to tell family and friends that she would like them to bring Bibles to give to foster children instead of gifts for herself. She received 4 Bibles (a couple people forgot) and mostly everyone still bought her a small gift since they were impressed with her generosity.

James and I have taken foster classes and hope to foster children as soon as he heals from surgeries. Madison asks often when we will get foster children as she is ready to have younger children in our home. She is passionate about foster children learning how much Jesus loves them and about the miracles He performed. She wants them to know that Jesus still performs miracles and that their families can experience miracles.

We delivered the four Bibles to our dear friend, Jesse, at Arrow Child and Family Ministries where Madison and our daughter, Jaelyn,  met Jesse for the first time. Jesse trains families to be liscensed foster care families. A few people saw through a facebook post what Madison had done and wanted to know if it was too late to donate Bibles. Madison called Jesse the next day to see if she could continue to collect Bibles. During that time, they launched Project Madison.  Madison shared what she felt led to do with our church last Sunday and was blessed by a wonderful love offering of $575. As of today,  the total is $640. At this point, we have ordered 48  Bibles to be given to foster children.

My mommy heart is bursting. I say we don't deserve the girls God loaned us, but I am glad he chose us to parent them. To God be the glory.  I can't wait to update soon.
