Yard Sale Update!

Our yard sale fundraiser completely exceeded our expectations.  Not just with how much was raised, but also with how God provided in so many more ways.

We woke to dark skies and rain on Thursday morning.  We had planned on opening the sale at 10:00 and already had potential customers driving by at 8:30.  By 9:00 we knew we would have to delay opening, so our new plan was to open by noon.  As 11:30 approached the weather outlook still looked bleak and we weren't sure how we would be able to get everything out quickly enough once the rain stopped. (Yes, I was feeling a bit panicked.)

As the raindrops began to fade, a large group of homeschooling friends all arrived at about the same time.  The Lord had provided just the right amount of helpers at just the right time.  Everyone pitched in and we had the yard sale set-up just in time for the arrival of our first customer.

God's provision was seen throughout the three days of the sale.  We were incredibly busy all three days!

Here are some of the highlights...

 

 

We had an amazing amount of items for sale!

 

The kid's concession stand was a huge success!

 

Tim and I wore shirts that said "mom" and "dad" in Chinese.

 

The girl's shirts said "older sister" and Ross's shirt said "older brother" 

in Chinese.

Are you ready for the grand total?  We couldn't believe it!  We were completely speechless...

$1,600.00
