Chicken, Treasures & Running

What do these three things have in common? I'll tell you! Besides the fact that we love them all, they are all a way that the Lord is providing finances for our adoption. Here are some dates to watch for, pray for and plan for!

November 1st: Chick-fil-A Pearson Adoption Spirit Night

• Come see us at CFA Thoroughbred Square in Cool Springs on Mallory Lane, from 5-8pm on Thursday night. Mention you're there for the Pearson's adoption night and a percentage of the sales will come to us! Invite your friends, neighbors, family & co-workers! 
• Pray this night brings in lots of sales both to bless Chick-fil-A and to bless our adoption fund! 
• Pray that we can connect with new and old friends who might be considering adoption or have never thought about it before. We are believing our story will inspire and bring more than one orphan home!

November 2nd & 3rd: Friends and Family Yard Sale

• We are collecting, sorting and pricing like crazy over here for a yard sale! 
• Clean out those closets, garages and toy boxes and bring us the things you don't need anymore.
• Come shop and find that treasure you didn't even know you were looking for, we will have lots of good stuff! 
• Pray for a sunny day and lots of shoppers and sweet connections!

We're adopting!

Thanks for visiting our blog! We used to be so diligent about updating this page with photos, stories and thoughts. Then, life took over! Now that we are in the process of adoption, we knew this would be a great way to keep friends, family and maybe even soon to be friends, up to date on our process, up to date on our events and up to date on our cute kids!

About a 16 months ago the Lord gave Martha a dream that was so real she couldn't shake it. That same night He gave a friend a dream that tied to hers and made the word, "adoption" enter our prayers and vocabulary. Over the next 4 months it was confirmed in two other dreams that the Lord had a little boy for us in Ethiopia. We began praying and asking the Lord for the right timing and the right people and He led us to America World Adoption Agency. We were approved for adoption this month and we are harvesting the funds we need to move forward. Keep checking back for more information and watch this page for events and ways you can serve us through this process. We covet your prayers!

Much love,
Al, Martha & the kids!
