updated: three on the third.

i hope you've been watching anika's story unfold.
it truly is amazing how God is in every detail.

so many of you have been woven into her story.
you have prayed, given, hosted or attended Love for Anika parties.
you've tweeted, facebooked & blogged to reach out to find her family.

now?  her family is found.
and friends!  they leave soon to go meet their little girl.
in a matter of days, a little girl who was an orphan--
alone & without any knowledge of what it is to be loved by a family--
will meet the dad & mom that love her beyond measure.

i have a way for each & every one of you--whether you've joined in or not--
to bless this family as they leave to meet their daughter.

today, on the 3rd day of the month,
will you give $3 to Anika's family for her adoption?

$3.
i think of all the ways that i've spent $3 this week
and i choose to give it to Anika.
may she feel our love & prayers as she waits for her
daddy & mommy to be there so soon.
one last effort from you precious friends to shower this family with love.

join me by clicking Anika's picture below.
every single person that visits today could just give those $3 and
watch how each of our little is multiplied to equal
MUCH.
so very much.

after you've given your $3, come leave a comment!julie vision designs offered one of her super cute purses to help Anika home.i picked out this one to send to one of you:
