Sunday Snapshot: "Faith" Necklace Adoption Fundraiser!!!

Throughout our adoption process so far, Faith has been the recurring theme. At the beginning of our journey, as I have shared a little bit about here, a lack of our faith almost ended this process before it ever started. Not a lack of faith in our Holy Father, but a lack of faith in wondering, "Can we do this"? , "Can we afford this"? "Is this more than we can handle"? But through the decision to move ahead and trust in God fully, unswervingly, and to know that He will be faithful and provide, our Faith has grown stronger than ever.

I have realized that in adoption, no matter how much you look over medical files, no matter how many physicians, surgeons and specialists review those files, you still do not know what will happen. We also realize that right now, there is not enough in our bank account to cover the cost of this adoption, let alone thinking about the medical expenses that will be involved once our girl is here. Yet, we have a strong sense of peace and have faith, that God has called us to this, and that He will provide.

It is so hard for me to ask for help. It is uncomfortable and difficult. But I also know that God doesn't intend for our lives to be "easy" and "comfortable". We need to make ourselves uncomfortable if that is what it takes to answer His call. So, in realizing that we do need help, I thought about my favorite piece of jewelery that, to me, symbolizes our adoption journey perfectly.


This is our adoption fundraiser "Faith" necklace. It is a piece of .925 Sterling Silver Silpada jewelery. It includes the necklace and sterling silver disc pendant. It is also reversible. The word "Faith" is inscribed on the disc and there is also a small mustard seed charm dangling from the pendant.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”
Matthews 13: 31-32
