We made it through the yard sale weekend. It was as good as a yard sale can be. We drove into town Friday morning to set up around 5:30 AM, and was blessed with a beautiful sunrise. We prayed that the Lord would hold off the scheduled rain until after 3:00. At 3:00 the slight drizzle began and as we got everything back in the garage, the showers began. Thank you Lord!
Today, Saturday, it was so beautiful for an April day. The sun was shining, the breeze kept the bugs away, and stuff sold! WE are blessed and happy to report that we, together with all your help in donations, raised $1950.00 this weekend.
As I reflect on all we have been doing, and all the prayers and support we have received, I am still in awe of how GREAT our God is. He asked us to move on Kristina's life, and in doing so, He has been faithful to show us how. What seems impossible to us is always possible for Him. We are still not at the goal yet, but know He has a plan He will reveal in His timing.
We are counting down to two weeks until travel day. Can you believe it? What we thought would be a long process has come down to starting in Feb. and leaving in May. Our fund raising efforts had to become more intense. We do ask that you pray about if the Lord has put it on your heart to be part of bringing Kristina home. I can honestly say this is His church family effort, and each part, whether big or small, has made a huge difference in the life of this child. Since our hot tub still has not sold, we know the Lord has other plans for raising that $4000.
If He is calling you to be part of this miracle to this 16 year old, you will be a huge blessing. I can't wait to see all the Lord is doing through this trip. It appears we have an opportunity to make a difference in a community that needs a "light" right now.
Thank you again and may the Lord bless you and your families with all He has for you.
