Money... It's just a number.. Join the 120 for Maida Challenge!

Years ago, when I was a single mom raising five children and I needed a specific amount of money to cover a specific thing... like rent, I would look at the total needed as only a number.
It wasn't something that could beat me, or own me, or defeat me. It was just a non living thing that had no limitations to being aquired or not acquired. So when I needed it, I just went after it. I didn't fear it.
International adoption scares many good families who would like to adopt, away, because they think it is impossible. It's not. Don't let a number scare you away from being a family to someone who needs one.
God always always accomplishes the impossible when it is according to His will.

Now here I am with the impossible glaring at me, wanting to take form of a living breathing monster who wants to eat me and make a fool of me. That is called a delusion. This monster is nothing but a mountain... and mountains are meant for hiking. So here I am with my boots on... and asking for others to take this hike with me.

We are in the last "trimester" of this adoption. We are the official parents and family of Maida, and the paperwork to start the process of bringing her home where she can be loved, nurtured and nourished has begun. She needs a mother, and father, and family. Not an orpahange that is impoverished both physically and spiritually. She needs me to go to bat for her. She needs all of us to fight for her in getting her home.

We have $15,000.00 we need to raise by mid September. We will be putting on two music fundraisers, and another garage sale. In addition to that we have a goal of selling 120 BOXES of chocolates. If, WHEN we do that, (selling 120 boxes of chocolates), we will be two thirds of the way there, and are believing that the last garage sale and music fundraisers will complete the adoption in being fully funded. We are calling it the 120 for Maida Challenge.

The orphan is all of our responsibility. How we each act on that responsibility looks different. But we are all called to care for her and the others. I'm asking you to help us help her. Be a part in bringing our daughter home.

This is what I need specifically:

To Sell 120 boxes of chocolate !!

Each box cost $96. If you bought a box, you can turn around and sell them for $2 each ( there is 48 in a box) and not of lost a dime! So it's possible to help us with our adoption and recover the $96 you put in.

I need buyers! 
Free shipping!
 I'm not asking you to eat 48 candy bars! If you want you can just give them away to friends and family! Donate them to a VBS, or school or sports event.
They are delicious, I've eaten many over the years as my girls have used selling them as a means to pay for tuition/boarding at the the National Cello Institute:)
The boxes consists of a variety of flavors. You can see some of those in the picture.

All you have to do is send me an email at lullabiesacrossthesea@yahoo.com and tell me you want to be a part of the 120 for Maida Challenge. Tell me how many boxes your buying and give me your name and the address you want them mailed to. Then click on my paypal button here on the blog and make a payment for how ever many boxes you want. ($96per box). I will have them shipped right out to you.

Maida is a real child in real need.

Bring Maida home... Join the 120 for Maida Challenge!
