For those of you searching to see how our puzzle fundraiser is going, I apologize for taking so long to update our blog. I have begun work on my thesis for my MA that I started 15 years ago, which has taken a bit of my time the last couple weeks. I will blog more about the thesis at a later date, but please pray for inspiration and perseverance as I write. I am researching and writing an exegetical study on God’s heart for the fatherless. It will be a long process, but one that I feel God has convicted me to do, and one that I am excited about! If it is truly His idea, then I believe He will see me through for His glory!
I am checking in with Lifesong weekly to get updates on the fundraising, and here are the first 2 weeks’ puzzle pictures (Each puzzle piece represents a $10 gift toward adoption expenses — Michael):

It may be hard to see but we have Ethiopia done! 🙂 The kids are really enjoying being involved in this as well. Thanks so much for those of you who have donated!
Amazing!
LOVE the puzzle idea! Where did you find the puzzle of Africa?

I googled and spent a lot of time looking at puzzles. I decided on this one even though it was out of the UK b/c it was easy enough that our kids could help (says ages 10+ but our 6, 8, and 10 year olds have all contributed) and because it was the best combination of an African map and African art that I could find. It was about $11 plus shipping, but I didn’t think $40 total was too much. It was delivered in about a week!
