Gideon's Quilt

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, we're starting a fundraiser called ...



It works like this. By donating and supporting our adoption of Gideon, you will helping put the quilt together. Different size sections will be based on different donation amounts.  Each person or family that sponsors this quilt will have their name on their section of the quilt so we (and Gideon) can see and be continually grateful for each of you as we're playing and snuggling with the quilt. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quilt Section SIZE Breakdown:
$20 - $100   = A Section - name on quilt
$100 - $500  = B Section - name w/option to write short message to Gideon on quilt - approx. 70 characters long (half-tweet length)
$500 & above = C Section - name w/option to write longer message to Gideon on quilt - approx. 140 characters long (full-tweet length)
(for those who wish to write a message, we will contact you at a later date regarding your message) 

PayPal link on the right side of the blog to be able to donate to our adoption fund.

Our goal through this fundraiser is to raise at least $10,000 within the next week that is needed for us to take our next step in the adoption.  To bring Gideon home as soon as we possibly can.  

This goal seems quite extreme to us.  But so did the $30,000 goal that God "somehow" provided last year through literally hundreds of people. So does the very idea we get to be his family. 

This goal seems unimaginable.  But "coincidentally" we read in our devotion this morning that God is "... able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us ..." - all for His glory.  

This goal seems impossible.  Even a little bit reckless.  But God is teaching us to be OK with that.
