11 Days and Counting...


You are having A N O T H E R yard sale you ask?  Yes, why yes we are!  This actually happens to be our fourth yard sale in just over a year, so while we definitely have a few "under our belt" it still amazes me how much time, effort, and generosity goes into a great sale.  We have been immensely blessed each of our previous times, and judging by the awesome stuff we already have so far- I'd say this time looks to be no different. 

Other than our yard sales, coffee store, and our raffle we haven't talked much about our need to find creative ways to fund our international adoption, and that has been somewhat intentional.  Trace and I have talked a great deal about when and how to communicate more about the financial aspect of our journey, but honestly what we have shared is what we've felt comfortable with for now.  We still have a way to go before the adoption process is totally paid for, BUT we sincerely believe God lead us to adopt internationally and He has provided what we've needed up to this point, and we are so humbled and thankful for that!!! 

In addition to our yard sale in 11 days (YIKES!) we are also being considered for an adoption grant this month.  If you think of it we would really appreciate your prayers that there would be enough funds for us to receive a grant along with many other families planning to adopt.  And while you're at it, would you pray that our yard sale is a success???  While items are still coming in (and are GREATLY APPRECIATED) we are doing the best we can to prepare and hope people show up and buy!

  2. Praying for your garage sale... and the grant!! :) I'm impressed that this is your fourth one! We did one huge one in the fall and it was the most exhausting (but wonderful) thing ever!
