any ideas?

I am actually typing a blog post to avoid working on our dossier documents because I need some help brainstorming.  I have started working through our documents for our dossier that need to be updated.  At the same time, our agency has had several referrals in the past few weeks.  It's all very encouraging and "all of a sudden" it feels any call I get could be that call.  In the process, I have been reminded of our remaining fees and expenses.  We have $3,735 left to pay on our international fee and approximately $10,000 for 2 trips (for 2 adults all times and one child for the last leg home :)).  We feel like we are a testimony to God's faithfulness in this area.  We have paid out approximately $12,000 so far for this adoption, including everything from fees to medicals.  This is only because God has provided each amount as we have needed through YOU ALL.  No one has given us $10,000... tons of you have given us $5, $10, $20, or $100... over and over... again and again... God has moved in miraculous ways to make this happen.  We have had yard sales, shirt sales, CD sales, bake sales, and even a SHOW HOPE grant. 

First of all, if you want to give us $10,000, we will take it :).

Secondly, I am out of ideas!  We don't have this money - any more than we did when we started.  I am confident God will provide.  I just don't know how to proceed.  Any ideas??

So know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God.  He will keep his agreement of love for a thousand lifetimes for people who love him and obey his commands.  Deut. 7:9
