Garage Sale Photos

This was me at 1:00 in the morning.  I was holding up pretty well!!!

I think it was torture for Nathan to not "test" all the yummy bake sale treats we had in our kitchen.

At 5:45 on Friday morning, we were setting up on our driveway.

Our garage was PACKED to full and overflowing.  What a blessing!!!

Can you see the mess we were trying to work through???

My handsome, hard working husband.  I just love him!!!

Look under the table.  All those bags were full of girls' clothes that we had no place to put.  We had a few moms come to our sale who were willing to sit on the driveway and just dig through the bags.  They got some GREAT deals on cute clothes!!!

This was my station.  We put out our home-made cards and had a little "flier" that told a little about our adoption journey.  {Along with my snack and mini Mt. Dew to keep me going!!}

My sister, Kristi, came on Saturday to help for the morning.  Thanks, Kristi!!!

Praise the Lord for His goodness and blessings!!!!

Garage Sale Total

Pam ~ Are you ready for it?  Would you like to know how much we made from our garage sale this past weekend?  Have you been just dying to know?

I am hoping that Nathan and I will have time one night this week to sit down and make a list of all the many ways God worked throughout last week.  There were so many blessings He sent our way, and we want to share them with you.  I'm not going to even try to start the list in this post.  But I do want to share with you that the sale went much better than we could have planned or even dreamed!!!!!

We brought in a total of .......

$971

 

I know!!!!  I couldn't believe it either!!!  We serve a mighty God who has a perfect plan for our adoption.  He is providing in His perfect plan and timing.  Praise the Lord!!!!!

It has been a very tiring week, but God has been doing some amazing things and we are so excited to see the plans He has for this fund-raising sale.

{By the way.  I will not be doing a "Fund-Raising Friday" post this week.  I will post pictures and info. on the sale sometime next week, and catch you up on our fund-raising next Friday.}
