He continues to amaze me!

I love God.
I love everything about Him.
How He loves, how He works, how He forgives, how He provides.

.....and how He showed up and showed out at our yard sale.

Last week following our LSC's we had to submit with our I-800 form $670 for the "additional child non-related sibling fee".
Then very quickly we will need to submit $1,128 ($564 x 2) for their visa's.
$1,798 in a very short amount of time.

Our yard sale total yesterday?
.....any guesses?...
.....are ya ready?..

$1,754.

Yeah.
I
love
to
watch
HIM
work.

In no way when we made the decision to step out in faith and follow His commands to care for the orphan did we have this enormous pile of  money sitting in the corner getting dusty. And as nice as that would have been if that were true, it's been even more amazing to watch HIM provide through every step.
We didn't have it.
But HE does.
And how He has used so many friends and strangers alike to accomplish His purpose has been
in
cre
di
ble
to watch.

We have some amazing friends that sacrificed so much time and effort that made our yard sale a huge success! They showed up by the truckloads with donations, they stood in my driveway for hours sorting and sorting and sorting and
well,
sorting.
And then some of them even had the nerve to rouse themselves out of a perfectly warm and comfy bed at 6am and join me in working the yard sale.
We are incredibly grateful to all of you that donated, helped, emailed or even Facebooked your words of support. We have the best friends and we can't thank you all enough. Thank you for being His hands and feet!

Soli De Gloria!
to God be the glory
