Last Thursday, shortly after promoting the My Favorite Things Basket, my husband had a medical emergency that required a short hospital stay. He is home now but we are still searching for "normal". I love singer/songwriter Liz Longley's song When you've got trouble, especially the chorus
My heart is tangled all around you
When you've got trouble, I've got trouble too
How true this is for Gary and I. We are so delicately intertwined that it is hard for me to stay above water when he is not beside me.
The day that the Dr. said he would be coming home I received a strongly worded email from Paypal advising that the Give Away Basket was a violation of their User Agreement and I would not be able to collect any further donations nor would I be able to access the current donations received. I finally spoke with someone at Paypal and they agreed to release our account so we could use the $500.00 collected toward bringing Zozo home but we could no longer use the Paypal donation button on my blog. We will still have the basket giveaway on the 24th!!
Mountains - I think our little Zozo will be a mighty warrior for Christ. I think it makes the enemy tremble at the thought of us bringing Zozo home.
Pray friends, please pray. Mountains need to move!! We only need $2700.00 more to start the dossier, fingerprinting, etc process in addition to the already $500 we have raised by your generous donations. We are so humbled by everything you have done and by how you have supported us.
I am open to suggestions since we can no longer use Paypal. What do you think is the best way to offer $5 giveaway chances for the My Favorite Things giveaway basket (includes and iPad and valued at $600)?
