When You Ask

God Provides:

Even though we had been threatened with rain for Saturday, 

God provided a nice, cool, somewhat damp but not rainy day.

Even though I was certain our efforts at advertising the sale weren't good enough,

God provided by making those efforts enough.

Even though we were sure that no one would want to turn up our drive 

and mosey up that scary looking dirt road,

God provided.

Over the course of 2 days,

God sent SO many people 

who were excited about our efforts

and willing to browse the sale

and buy the stuff

and make donations

and look at a picture of The Child

and listen to me tell our story.

We were hoping to raise at least half of our initial application fee.

God laughed at this feeble goal.

He provided.

There are now 72 marbles in our Marbles Jar.

That's enough to cover the ENTIRE application fee.

I could cry.

Giving this to God.

Totally

 Absolutely

 Entirely.

He will provide.

This week, 

We will be working as quickly as we can to gather the documents and fill out the paperwork to begin the Home Study. 

How long the home study takes depends solely on how fast we work.

And how soon we can far the accompanying fees.

So this week we will also be working on our items for the Kids Mart.

And accepting donations of Items still for the Sale again this upcoming weekend.

You'd be surprised what has sold. 

So if you're thinking of donating

and you think

"Who would buy that?"

That's probably the item you should donate.

lol

We are overwhelmed with the support that people are so willing to give.

I'm on the verge of happy, grateful tears almost always.

Thank you.

And those who are praying for us:

Please keep praying.

And add a prayer of Thankfulness

Because God provides.
