$306 & Thankful..

Oh my goodness!  Here's a post I honestly wasn't sure that I would ever be writing!   But yet again, God has shown his never failing love and grace on both Mick and I.   This week we reached $306 for Angel Tree!!  I'm still in shock!  This is the best feeling in the world!  Everyday, I pray that if it's God's will that he'll do something big for Mick, something special and if today is the day, his forever family will find him.  Though today wasn't the day his forever family would find him, God did do something big!  We reached another goal!  $300!!!!   And just as I said in the $202 post, if this is all I raise for him, if this is all he's meant to have from Angel Tree, I will smile and praise God for this incredible blessing!  I will be thankful for all the amazingly generous people that have helped me reach this point for Mick.  Without kindhearted people that have a love for Mick, none of this would ever be possible.   I certainly couldn't have gotten this far on my own.  God provides.  He really does. SO many people have helped make this possible and I'm not even sure I will ever find the words to describe my gratefulness for each person.  <3 <3 <3

Let's try to reach $400 before December!  Go to www.Facebook.com/MicksMiracle and "LIKE" the page.  Then share a flyer going around.  My goal is to reach 100 shares, at least ;)   

                                                            (Flyer posted below)

I am excited to see what God has in store for Mick!  I have a feeling that this journey is only beginning! <3

What's Going On

If you follow me on Mick's Facebook page then you probably know I've been doing a good bit of fundraisers recently.   I'm not completely sure that my blogger followers know all of what I'm doing so I decided it would be a great idea to make a little update post. :) '

So here's a list of the fundraisers and events going on right now!

$202 and My Wish For You

Dear Mick,

Oh sweet baby boy! I have big news!  You officially have $202 in your Angel Tree account!  I'm overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness! The Lord has blessed you and me SO much! <3 

We have $800 to go, but honestly, I'm not worried about how we'll get there! God's shown himself to be all around these fundraisers for you and He's brought so many people to come and help you so willingly and selfless.  It's incredible.  If this is all I raise for you than I will still smile and praise The Lord! 

I fail at finding words to describe the way I feel.  I'm so glad and incredibly blessed that I have this opputinty to be your Angel Tree Warrior this year.

Of course I want to raise the $1.000 for your adoption grant! But most of all I want to find your forever family. I pray every single  day that God will guide your forever family to you.  

Sweetheart, your like a son to me. I love you more than most could imagine. (Like some peope reading this on my blog , they think I'm crazy and immature) 

You aren't "just a photo" hanging on my wall. You're a big part of me now. And just like many of the orphans I've helped before, you little man have changed me.  I've learned to never give up, always keep hope and faith in God, and to be more grateful for the things I have in life.   You've never just need a face amount the  147,000,000 orphans in the world.  You always have and always will hold a very special piece of my heart. And if it's God's will, one day I will be able to scoop you up into my arms and kiss those adorable chubby cheeks...at last.  

And maybe one day I will have the chance to read these letters to you. You'll quickly learn that someone loved you so much when you were trapped and unloved in the orphanage. 

$202 isn't were I give up.  I'm going to continue to work on the auction, selling handmade items, Angel tree FB covers and more!  Whatever it takes, I'll do it for you.  

You're precious to me Mick baby. Remember that always. <3 

$200 Today Pie Challenge

I'm feeling courageous enough today to do a fun little challenge!  Mick currently has $130 in his Angel Tree. That's a huge blessing! I'm so grateful for every bit God's blessed me with.  

I want to reach $200 at least before midnight  so we're going to do a pie contest!  If we reach $200 or more before midnight I will have one or two of my 14 siblings shove a whipped creame pie in my face. I'll record it and post it on here of course, for all of you to see!  This should be a fun game!  If we reach $230 I'll put food coloring of your choice in the pie and it will more than likely dye my face! Haha! But it's ALL worth it to help Mick! :)    

To donate go to Mick's link below and donate there!

Let's pray God will lead people to donate and we'll reach $200 +!! 

Thanks!

Handmade Owls for Mick

Hello!  It's been too long since I posted.  And for good reasons.  I have been so busy fundraising and busy at home with my family and my precious new baby sister.   But I really haven't left Mick out!   Almost every ounce of my free time has went into making Facebook Covers for Reece's Rainoow | Angel Tree.   Which is absolutely wonderful because I currently have $130 raised for Mick.  Only $860 left! :)    And  if you're interested in getting one, check out my covers here.

My wonderful grandmother has blessed me with the donation of her time and talented work by making these lovely owls.     

  

Each owl will come with a little card with it's name and a personality paragraph to tell you a little bit more about them, :)  

  

Each one of these owls were handmade and there isn't one alike! 

My grandma (Grammy) made these for me to "sell" for donations for Mick.   I'm so grateful for all of her hard work!  These are seriously ADORABLE!  

For a $13 donation to my YouCaring account for Mick  you'll get to chose which of these three owls.  

If you want one I suggest you don't wait to order because there more than likely won't be anymore this year.  

\

These owls are the perfect size for a stocking stuffer for Christmas.  In this photo the owl is sitting in my hand

These were made by a perfectionist!  She doesn't want to make anything unless she makes it the best it could possibly be!  Everything will stay together and last for a long time! 

This one is the cutest most spunky little owl of the nest!  With her pretty soft pink ribbon feet and Hello Kitty pattern print she's sure to please any little girl!   

I think this little owl is my favorite!  He's so original with his eyes. Any child would love to have him!  

Each one of these owls are ready to take off and be at your front door for Christmas! So email me A@ Ksizemore16@gmail.com to order yours.   :) 

Mick's Make a Wish Auction

I am so excited to tell you that I finally have a new fundraiser up for "my" little man, Mick!   As you probably read on the title, it's an auction!   I've only done a handful of auctions before and they've always been with my best friend, Alyssa.  But since she is going to be busy with her missions work I have decided to go ahead give solo fundraising a whirl.  Not for good though, follow Chosen To Bless to see what we'll be up to soon for Angel Tree. :)

Since I'm currently not working, because I'm still in school, I have to depend on donations from incredibly generous small business owners.  God has certainly blessed me with each one of these amazing people who have donated items for Mick's auction.   I will never be able to describe how grateful I am for kind generous people.  Every single person that donates an item overwhelms my heart with joy and happiness.

I would greatly appreciate and recommend you all going and "liking" each one of these businesses page.  I'm sure they would love it and I can promise you won't regret liking them! :)    Tell them Mick's Miracle in the Making sent you!


I'm going to be holding this auction on my Facebook page for Mick, click here to go "like" the page to receive updates on your Facebook newsfeed.

I will have a photo album on there with all of the items.  I also have the items listed on here, in case you don't have a facebook account.  If for some reason you don't have a Facebook please email or comment your bid on an item to me.  I'll place your bid on Facebook on the item. :)

One Big Step

My gorgeous baby sister, Victoria. 

Hello.  I'm back!  It feels like I've disappeared off the face of blogging world for weeks, but it's only the truth.   I have been extremely busy with my family over the last 3 weeks.   2 weeks ago today, my beautiful baby sister was born.  She had low blood sugar and had to be put into the NICU.  That following Wednesday night she arrived home for the first time, where her 14 older brothers and sisters all met her for the very first time.   On that Friday, the baby, Victoria, had a check up to see how her blood sugar was doing.  Her blood sugar was good, but now she was losing weight.  Her formula was going right through her.  The doctor put her on another kind of formula.  The next day, Saturday, she had to go back to see if she had improved.   Sadly she had lost more weight and was admitted to the hospital immediately.   They put her on a feeding tube for a couple days then slowly started feeding her a very special kind of formula, and finally on Wednesday my gorgeous baby sister was able to come home.  Exactly where she is right now. :)


During that time I was busy helping out around the house, I'm kind of the main babysitter, along with my two sisters that are near my age.  

With that being said, I've had very little time to get on the computer, much less blog.  I haven't stopped trying to raise money for Mick though.  I actually got to the fabulous amount of $100!!   Ahh!!  Such a huge step!!  Only $900 to go!  God has certainly blessed me.   I just want to thank every single person who has been praying for Mick.  And thank you to those who donated!  I'm so grateful for everyone's blessings to Mick.  I am so happy that I have reached $100 already!  Usually I don't get much more than that.  I am just overwhelmed with happiness when I think of all the kind people who are doing such wonderful things for "my" little man, Mick. :)


As of now I am making custom Facebook Timeline covers, and blogger backgrounds for just a $5 donation to Mick's Angel Tree fund, which is currently on my YouCaring account.

If you don't need or want one of those you can always purchase a piece of the puzzle.  PLEASE check it out!  I personally think it's one of the funnest fundraisers ever!   Check out the Puzzle Fundraiser, right here.  

I'm coming up with more fundraisers soon!  Now that life is slowly beginning to settle back into the "normal", I'll be able to plan much more!

Please keep Mick in your thoughts and prayers,  And feel free to share this blog!  It's so helpful and free!  So why not?! ;)  

Again I cannot tell you how incredibly grateful I am for all of your generosity!  You are truly helping save a precious life.
