what a sneaky sneaky church

so we got a phone call earlier this week from a couple at our church, brian and suzanne, who have been teaching us some things about making a budget and all. they said that they had something that could help us with our budget, and wondered if they could stop by. we said yes. then our pastor, kendall, and his wife julie, stopped by unannounced right before brian and suzanne were supposed to arrive. coincidence? i think not. we were clueless as to what would unfold, and thought to ourselves, 'aren't we popular tonight'. brian and suzanne came in with a bucket, topped with balloons and filled with cards that said "we love isaac" on them. they proceeded to tell us that each card represented a financial donation towards isaac's medical debt. they then pulled out a magnadoodle with a number written on it that was the total amount raised for isaac. $11,000! at this point they revealed that they have been raising these funds for the past five months! it is in an account at our church ready to pay off the hundreds of medical bills incured over the past two and a half years with isaac. we are praising God as we sort out the hundreds of bills we have. i love my church! not because they gave us money, but because they loved our son, and us so much.
