There follows a copy of a letter I rec'd from this site.
If you don't know the site, you might like checking it out.
I'm not soliciting anything...just asking your prayerful concern for these folk.
Many thanks and blessings!

======================

Dear Friends and Family of Andie's Isle,

First, I would like to announce that our adoption is final!!!! Ethan James (now 16 mos. old), always ours in our hearts, is now legally ours as far as the rest of the world is concerned. We thank God for all His blessings in our life. There is a current photo of Ethan and I on my home page.

I'm writing to share a new web page that I've just finished. It is called "In You I Found Me" the details of this new page will follow, but I have something very important to tell you about. It is possible that this could be the last web page you will receive from me. Andie's Isle is in danger of closing down. I know that this letter is lengthy, but I hope you will bear with me as there is much to share about my website and you are a very important part of it.

My heart is full of gratitude toward each and every one of you. Your support has made it possible for my website, Andie's Isle, to reach millions of people in all parts of the world, sharing words and music of love and peace. The past five years have been a wonderful and fulfilling experience, one which I will treasure for the rest of my life.

There have been many challenges along the way to keep this website online, and by the grace of God, it has prevailed. And now, another challenge is at hand. As most of you know, my website has been kept advertisement free and free of all costs to all who visit. My husband and I have funded the costs personally. With the number of visitors to Andie's Isle growing into the millions per month, the fees for web hosting have risen dramatically. My web hosting company has contacted me to notify us of a significant increase in costs that are necessary to keep Andie's Isle online. Unfortunately, these new monthly fees (which began May 1st.) have risen to a level that we can no longer afford to pay. I was sadly and prayerfully planning to close down Andie's Isle when a possible solution was offered.

Some of you know that over the past year I have contributed graphic designs to an artistic and musical project - the Reach Higher CD. This is a very special CD. The wonderful songs on Reach Higher offer encouragement, inspiration, healing, and motivation and, in one way or another, enrich the lives of all who listen - it truly is the "Feel Good Album of the Year". The Reach Higher CD is owned and authored by two brothers (also fellow Christians) Michael and Richard Berardi.

When I told Michael about the critical situation of Andie's Isle, he told me not to worry. He was certain there was a solution (good friends say these things to their friends to encourage them, I thought). However, a short while later, he contacted me with a possible solution to the problem! What Michael and his brother Richard have promised to do, is to take care of the financial obligations of Andie's Isle with the proceeds from sales of the Reach Higher CD. What a great way not only for Andie's Isle to continue and grow but also for Michael and Richard to realize their dream of encouraging others through their music - it really is a winning solution - we all benefit.

I'm asking you to please visit Michael and Richard's website, and if I may, I'd like to suggest that you read their letter on their home page, read some of the testimonials from others who have purchased the CD, listen to the songs and then, of course, if you feel led and have the means, please order the Reach Higher CD, the cost is $14.95 plus $2.99 for shipping and handling .

I should also mention that there are now three web pages on Andie's Isle that contain songs written by the Berardi's which are included in the Reach Higher CD (my newest page is one of them) - Here are the links to all three:

Note:
When you visit "In You I Found Me", you will see a link that
says "Important Message" From Andie.
It is this same message that I have just shared with you.
I will be placing it on many pages throughout my website for new visitors.

I thank the Lord for Michael and Richard, not just because of what they are offering to do here, but for their friendship that I have been blessed with for the past year and look forward to in the future.

I thank you for your time in reading this and for all the the loving support you have shown me through the years.

Whether or not Andie's Isle is to continue is in the Lord's hands. I am following what I believe to be the way that He has provided and, to share some words that a friend and brother in Christ recently said to me, "You cannot make a wrong decision when you place it in the Lord's hands."

May God bless you all,

Andie
