humbled

I am constantly humbled and find myself in a state awe over our friends, and how extremely blessed we are by them. I am truly convinced that they are a rare thing. I don't know what we did to deserve them, but I truly thank God and praise Him for putting them into our lives.

Today, like many days, is such an occasion.

A group of friends has been putting together a benefit dinner, to help raise funds for our adoption expenses. I received the invitation today, and went to the blog they have started - and am having fight back the tears at my work desk.

That they are using their many extraordinary talents (did I mentioned how talented they all are?? every single one of them?? It is crazy and intimidating), much valuable time, financial resources, and more to help us bring the girls home is beyond anything I could ever repay or thank them for... words just don't seem like enough (especially when I am not very good with words to begin with).

But I will attempt to anyway.

For all of our friends, and also the anonymous people who have contributed, prayed, and given of themselves...

Thank you guys, we love you so so very much. We are going to make it through this process retaining our sanity because of you. You are why we are not only going to be able to bring our girls home - but bring them home knowing they will be surrounded by the best friends, family, support system, and godly influences that people could ever hope to have.
