Adoption T-Shirts!

Trace and I had a last minute fundraising idea to help with bringing Micah home.  We started working on it, and loved it, so we wanted to share with yall!  We are selling adoption T-shirts!  By wearing the shirt, we not only want to advocate for Micah and for bringing him home, but also for the issue of adoption!

I believe with all my heart that the gospel of Jesus and adoption go hand in hand.  You can't understand one, without the other.  I have talked briefly about this in a previous post, but can't get enough of the correlation.
We all were hopeless, wrecked, broken without any hope before we met Jesus.  We are broken in our sin, and destined for separation from God.  But He CHOSE us to be His children!  We have done NOTHING to deserve this or to merit our sonship to our Heavenly Father.  But in His great mercy, as a believer, we are adopted by God, and share in His ONLY Son's righteousness and eternal blessings.  

"He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will."  Ephesians 5:1

Choosing to accept His gift of salvation, and giving our life to Christ and trusting Him with it, we are given an eternity with God our Father!  Praise Him for His goodness!

In the same way, we want Micah to grow up knowing that he was chosen!  Not only by us, but by God...first!

"We love Him, because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19

God led us, to him, specifically, and we went after him, and didn't stop until we came home with him!  We pray that all of our children grow up knowing how deeply loved they are.  How special and dynamic each one of them is and how crazy we are about them.   But even more than that, for them to know that Jesus loves them eternally more, and has chosen them before time began.  

It's our hope that by wearing our T-shirt, the issue of adoption would be spoken of hand in hand with the gospel of Jesus Christ, so that all may know of HIS saving power!  We want Him to receive the glory for all.  

We are selling these comfort color t-shirts this week!  The short sleeved shirts come in these 4 colors (or very similar based on the actual dye).  And the long sleeved shirt comes in graphite gray shown on bottom left!  
The long sleeved shirt is $20 and short sleeved is $15.  

If you would like to purchase one, we can take credit card, check or cash!  We are ready to ship them to you folks out of town!  Please email me at cassiejohamiter@yahoo.com or leave a note on the blog if you would like one, and we can get you on the order list!  

We will be closing sales on Sunday night, Nov. 3, so hurry, and get your order in if your interested! 

Through His grace alone,
Cassie

  1. Hey Cassie! It's Kaitlyn from CHS :) I love reading about your family's journey. We have dear friends who are going through the process of adopting a boy from DHS and like your family their steps have just been ordained. It's so awesome to see his hand at work!! I would like to support bringing Micah home and buy a green t-shirt. We will also join your family in prayer for the things you listed at the bottom of the page.
