Tournament

I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord. -Ezekiel 29:20

The Adoption Tournament was on April 5, 2014. I had a great time witnessing some old acquaintances, family, and friends playing ball, helping out, or just hanging out. Here is a small picture of what the day looked like. I am extremely grateful to my family members who helped make this day possible. Additionally, many friends and family friends made this day happen and end on a positive note. Also, thank you to all of the teams who came out and played ball all day long! 

Here is the sweet person who organized the tournament, and endured endless calls and texts from me in the weeks before the tournament! Thank you dearly, Jade, for all of your hard work and dedication! 

The Brackets!

Only a tiny portion of who showed to help out in concessions! Thanks to EVERYONE who came and lended a hand!

The Auction....and the winners of most of these items....would be my family members!!!!! Ha! Thanks guys! Love you all! 

If you baked and donated a cake, I appreciate you! One particular banana cake made by my Aunt Amelia was fought over. And the battle was won by my hilarious cousin, who stayed all day with my grandma collecting money for tickets! 

Lots of family members cooked for me all day long! Many donations were made on the food, and I am grateful for each person who graciously donated food and/or time! 

AND THE CHAMPIONS!!!!! 

"It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy." -Romans 9:16

Therefore, I am remaining in full reliance on the Lord and His infinite mercy to continue to provide financially for this adoption, which He has ordained. I appreciate everyone's efforts ( and am so grateful for each of you). However, it is noted in my heart to remember that I cannot depend on human efforts, but on God's mercy. He is the one in complete control, and I willingly hand all of it over to Him!
