We prayed for enough volunteers and we ended up being very organized and READY when the sale started. We even had a sweet, older lady RAVE about the setup of the sale. she said it was the best one she had ever been to. We prayed for NO blizzard (it was predicted) and it did snow, but not bad and the roads were COMPLETELY clear! We prayed for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ALOT</span> of shoppers and Friday was BUSY practically all night and Saturday remained steady throughout the day. There is something else we prayed for, it's at the end. ;)<br /><br />We would like to send a heartfelt <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">thankyou</span> to everyone involved!! We asked for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ALOT</span> of volunteers and got them. Everyone came, ready to serve, dug right in and did a fabulous job. We had volunteers, standing on the street in the snow holding a sign, some volunteers had 4 kids in tow during their DOUBLE shift, volunteers were folding cloths till their fingers went numb (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ok</span> I might be exaggerating there), some set up the beautiful raffle table, others took the money, hey that's important, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">hehehe</span>, we had a great crew come and help us clean up EVERYTHING<><p><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Thankyou</span> to all the business that donated the AWESOME raffle items. That really did help bump up or fundraising efforts BIG TIME! There were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">ALOT</span> of tickets and well it just made the event more exciting too!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone that donated food and drinks for our awesome volunteers!! We even got <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">homecooked</span> meals like sloppy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">joes</span> and chicken chili with bread and brownies!! That was so sweet!! One friend even made about 75 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">bfast</span> burritos to share with volunteers AND sell at the sale. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">starbucks</span> coffee REALLY hit the spot. YUM!<br /><br />We couldn't have had the sale without ITEMS TO SELL!! We got <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">SOOOO</span> much GREAT stuff!! We had some BIG ticket items which really beefed up our efforts. We got a plasma TV-SOLD! Big screen <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">HGTV</span>-Sold! BIG hydraulic tool thingy which I have no idea what it does-SOLD! We had so much more like nice furniture, TONS of clothes, books, toys, baby gear, kitchen appliances, and SO much more. Thank you to everyone that took the time to go through your stuff and donate to our cause!! We even received flat donations, what a blessing. Thank you to all that did that. ;)<br /><br />Lastly, we prayed for an amount we wanted to raise at the garage sale. We wanted it to be MORE than previous sales (which also did well.) and we wanted the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Sullivans</span> to raise the amount they needed to get their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">homestudy</span> started. Of course we wanted a good chunk to add to our own fundraising needs and we are getting closer to our final goal. ;) We never even discussed a goal amount with them but it turned out we were praying for the same amount of $5000! We actually raised just over that!! We are completely overwhelmed by God's goodness! HE REALLY does provide and blesses adoption.<br /><br />Thank you all for reading, signing off here for a while. Need to relax for a bit now!!! Sorry if this isn't written very well, I am still kinda out of it but I know you all wanted to know how it went. ;)</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626909204705344685.post-6118651026108535932009-03-25T13:10:00.000-07:002009-04-03T21:46:05.480-07:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Check Out the AWESOME </span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Raffle Items and Services!</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">RAFFLE TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE!</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">Online Sales end Saturday, April 4th at 2pm!!!!</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Scroll down to bottom to view raffles</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Much thanks to all the individuals and businesses that graciously donated!!</span> </span></strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div>Now everyone can get raffle tickets, even if they can't attend.<br /><br />You can also use the DONATE button to simply donate.

Unfortunately, it's expensive. By donating, volunteering and shopping at this event you will help two <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">families</span> pay fees for adoption and help bring THREE precious children to their forever families!!!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The first family, Brian and Cindy adopted thier first child, Emma Marie at birth. Emma was even born on Cindy's birthday! WE have an amazing relationship with her birthmom and are so blessed by adoption. We are now adopting our second child. After waiting 2 years for a girl from China, we recently switched to domestic adoption for another infant due to increased wait times in China. We still feel we are following God's awesome plan for our family. We are amazed at the plans HE has for our family. We could receive a call any day for a baby!! We really wanted to find another family that is adopting and needed assistance with their adoption fees so we could include them in this garage sale. WE are SO excited to have found a family that is adopting a SIBLING group!! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The second family, Matt and Laura will be adopting a sibling group from Asia. Matt and I are adopting a sibling group from Southeast Asia. "Adoption is our first choice for starting our family. Orphan care has always been a passion of mine and God began to change Matt's heart towards adoption shortly after we began volunteering with our church youth group. Through that experience we both realized that God had given us hearts that overflowed with love for other people's children. Adoption, for us, is not rooted in pity or charity but in equity and justice and love." They are also trying to raise funds by selling hats Laura knits herself. The hats are absolutely ADORABLE.
