So, we had another yard sale today! I forgot I never posted how the last one went. The yard sale 2 weeks ago was only possible by our family & friends. We weren't able to be there b/c we had an adoption class to go to. So, our family & friends stepped in for us. Thank you all for your hard work Emily, Joy, Dana, Joseph, Lindsay, Daniel & Anna! They raised about $200! Yay!
Today my dad's neighborhood was having a community yard sale. So we loaded up & went off to their house this AM...at 6:00AM! We are tired, but it was well worth it. Today we raised about $128! Thank you daddy & Jenn for letting us use your yard & for all your help!
Special thanks go out to all who have donated yard sale items! We couldn't have done this without your stuff!
Each penny raised is a step closer to our baby. Sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about the money we have left to save/raise. It's a lot. I just have to remind myself that my God is BIGGER than that & He is going to provide. I don't know when, where, or how, but know that He is. Some days instead of looking at the large amount at the end I have to focus on what we can do to save right now or what the next fundraiser can be.
Thanks to everyone that's helped us out & that is contiuing to do so. All of the time, energy, money, & prayers mean a lot to us. ESPECIALLY the prayers!

Oh,sweet Heather I know what you are feeling right now! We of course aren't adopting but we are however, relying on God's provision so that we can do the work He has called us too! I know that He is going to supply each and every need. You are going to be an amazing mom! I am praying that all the big puzzle pieces will come together for you guys! Love friend!
It is so hard not to be overwhelmed by the amount of money needed but I try to remind myself of how God continually has provided money just when we need it. I know He will continue to be faithful to His word and provide what we need for both of our adoptions!
Thank you for the encouragement friends! I will be praying for both of you! I am so excited for what God is doing in all of our lives. Keep lifting us up! :)
Isn't it amazing how he provides? I just love it :D
So very true...Our God is so much bigger!!
God does provide. He is amazing!
