Garage Sale Update

Published by doylesadoption at 8:14 am under Adoption Edit This

The garage sale was a huge success!  I would have done this update yesterday but I was exhausted from this week.  We decided to do it Friday and Saturday this week, and I am so glad we did.  Whenever I’ve done garage sales before, I usually walk away with $50 or so.  But because of everyone’s great donations we were able to bring the remainder of the placement fee to $1000.  I would like to thank everyone who donated items and donated their time to help.   This sale would not have been as successful without all of you.  We are hoping to have the rest of the money together by the 19th, I have one more paycheck coming and we have a dining set that looks like it might sell in the next few days.  I appreciate everyone’s prayers and help during this whole process.  I have felt God’s presence through every step and now we just have a few more steps to go!  I will probably update this next time with news that Reese is here but you never know what will come up in the next 3 weeks or so.

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:1-3

    I want to add my thanks as well. It was exhausting but it was so worth every minute and once of effort. What a blessing and encouragement it was to see all of the donations. We definitely saw God’s hand at work in all of it through each of you. God bless. Looking with great excitement to welcome our grandson into the family. Nana Botzum

    See I was so tired I couldn’t spell “ounce” but I’m sure you all knew what I meant. ;-)
