Believing in the Martins

Posted on January 17, 2012 Updated on January 17, 2012

I believe in lots of people.

I believe in their hopes and dreams.

I pray for their success and prosperity.

But today, I want to highlight one special couple.

Matt and Christie Martin.

Matt and Christie are an awesome husband/wife team that have embarked on an incredible journey to adopt a child.

I really think a lot of these two.  They are talented, loving, and caring and will make excellent parents.  One of the main reasons I am so sure of their success is because they are grounded firmly in their faith in Jesus Christ.

The Martin’s are chronicling their journey on Matt’s blog, which you can check out at mattmartin.co.

Raising a child takes a village and adopting a child takes much more.  It’s an expensive endeavor – in the neighborhood of $30-$40K.  So, along with their pursuit of adopting a child, they have started a fundraising effort.  With their Christmas card, Matt and Christie cleverly sent magnets and stickers encouraging others to be part of their journey – whether through prayer or finances.  Read their post “Leaping from the Lion’s Head” to learn more.  They’ve also set up a donation link at the top of their blog.

With economic times being what they are – not many of us have a bunch of extra money laying around – but little by little we can contribute to things that matter.  And I think this is something that matters.  We attached our magnet and sticker to a gallon can – and we’ve started putting our spare change in it.  Every little bit helps.

Which is why – if you feel so inclined – I encourage you to follow the Martin’s on their blog, donate to their adoption, but most importantly – pray for God’s will in their life.  We will.
