So Blessed

Friday and Yesterday (Saturday) was my fundraising yard sale for my mission trip to Africa. God really worked some magic. I met my money goal plus some. Friday morning was very dreary with some drizzle mixed in, but it ended up very nice and busy. Saturday was beautiful and a little warm. I had some great supporters come out and also help. I am so thankful everything went smoothly. Below are some pictures from the sale. Thank you to all who supported and gave me donations. 

These are the clothes tables. There were a TON of clothes!!!!

These are a few of the toys. I was given a good mix of toys.

I think we had every Disney movie made, plus some!

God is so Funny!

So tonight I went to a church event for college-age young adults. I was talking with my campus pastor about an upcoming event at my work he was invited to when he told me I should sign up for the raffle they were doing tonight. I brushed it off cause I NEVER win anything! Well before we went in for the service I decided to sign up (don't know why :). Well we went in for service and worship and I told God well if I win it, it will go in my "AFRICA" fund. (I never thought I would win!!!) So I forgot about it, and the service went on. Well while exiting the sanctuary I hear my name. It was my campus pastor. He said you won, and I said won what? He said the raffle. I was dumbfounded cause like I said before I NEVER WIN ANYTHING! So God showed me his humorous side tonight. I won $160 for my Africa fund. Thank you Jesus, and you made me laugh :)

Waiting......

I am so excited for Africa! I have signed up, gotten my passport, fundraised and now I feel like it is a waiting game. Once I gave God my yes, I have been ready to leave. I know 3 1/2 months will fly by in no time, but I still got ants in my pants. God was preparing my heart a long time before I realized what He was doing. Another blessing......I didn't know anyone going on this trip until the other night when I was doing a web conference meeting. Below the video there was a chat box and our leader asked us all to tell where we are from. Just so happens there is a girl 20 minutes from me. She is a couple years older but has a heart for adoption. She actually works with an adoption agency. What a coincidence! She also has been before so this isn't new to her. I am so thankful to know someone now. Thank you God for thinking of EVERYTHING! Every little detail. I pray these next couple months go smoothly, and quickly!

  Also stay tuned in for more updates. This coming up weekend I am having a fundraising yard sale. I will post pics soon. Our house is being over taken! I don't know how much more dad can take :)
