Missing pieces do more than complete a puzzle. They fill in an empty space.
It's been a good week! At the beginning of 2017 we launched our newest fundraiser; "Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece." After kicking off the fundraiser, we sold our first two pieces! And then, last Sunday, we set a goal to "sell" 10 puzzle pieces. Our goal of 10 puzzle pieces was far exceeded; we sold 34 just this week!
On Facebook, we mentioned the wonderful gentleman who wanted to purchase all 10 pieces, to help us meet our goal. He was purchasing them in honor of his family members. When listing out those family members, he named 12, and said he wanted to buy all 12. After he wrote them down, and was figuring it all up, he ended up with 15 pieces!
A sweet friend of mine, her prayer group (15 individuals), all of whom we do not know, they all purchased one piece each as well! What a blessing!
Two of Kevin's friends from work purchased one each. And a family member also purchased two!
Thirty four, friends!
We sold 34 puzzle pieces this week!
I had wrote a small post on Facebook this past week, talking about how easy it is to get discouraged. We from time to time find ourselves questioning, and wondering if this will all come together. The Lord wants us to be reminded to not be discouraged; to know that we are getting there. What God is giving us requires preparation, focus, and commitment.
When Kevin and I first felt the calling of adoption on our hearts, we knew the mountain we were faced with. The cost that surrounds adoption. But we both chose to believe that the Lord would provide us with exactly what we need, to bring this child into our family. To raise this child in a Christian home, to love them, and to give them a hope for life, a life that they might not have known otherwise.
We will never be able to say thank you, enough. The part you have played in this journey so far, has helped keep us going. It's helped feed our faith, and breathe life into the hope that we have for this child, a child that will one day be in our arms.
Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.
We have 216 pieces until the puzzle is put together. Would you consider helping bring home our missing piece?
To purchase a puzzle piece, you can do so online, through paypal, by clicking here:

You can write a check, or donate cash, by hand delivering to Amber or Kevin. Or you can mail a check to us, by requesting our address; email me at: AKLeValley@yahoo.com or message me or Kevin on Facebook!
For those of you who might not know the purpose of the puzzle piece fundraiser: when you purchase a puzzle piece, your name will go on the back of that piece. Once the puzzle is assembled, and a name on each piece, the puzzle will then be framed in two sided glass, and hung in our child's room, so that he or she can see all who helped bring home, our missing piece <3
Please keep on a prayin friends! We are so excited for this journey we are on!
Love,
Kevin & Amber
