We are getting closer to our goal!

UPDATE

We did it!!! We met our goal!

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and thanking God for providing!

Now this is the way to spend the day at a yard sale

We had another yard sale on Saturday and it was a rather slow day. Not sure why. It might be that we didn't know that our sign at the end of our road was taken until half way through the day. It might have been it was so darn hot that no one was out, going to yard sales. No way to know for sure.

But with that said, we made $46 and since our son sold something of his and he bargained with the guy we are giving him that money. So $14 will be going to his savings to help him buy the materials for the one man boat he wants to build.

$250 left and we will have reached our goal and we leave in 6 days! :)

UPDATE

WE ARE SO THANKFUL!!!!

God continues to amaze us and he has heard ours and everyone's prayers for our funds!!

We received two donations yesterday. One was from someone on one of my Yahoo groups and one was from an anonymous donor.

So with those two donations, there's only $280 left that we need!

Thank you so very much to our two donors, we are humbled and we truly appreciate it!!

We leave in 9 days!!

We are getting closer and closer!! :)

We're down to needing only $1,300 now. That will take care of the in China incidentals.

We will be having a yard sale this weekend to try and help towards that.

Please say a big prayer that we will make it!

And again, thank you all for your help and prayers in bringing Elijah home, we appreciate it so much!!!!

Little Brother, Big Sister

Well I had some time today to put together a couple of shirts for Miss Magoo and Lil' Monkey to wear in China.

I know his isn't a monkey but I thought the Panda was too cute and of course the lady bugs, how could I not use lady bugs? :)

We are blessed!

We had our spaghetti fundraiser dinner this past weekend and not only were we blessed with folks that came to our dinner but we were also blessed beyond measure with donations!

Then on Saturday we went to our friends that had a yard sale and we brought some things to sell, we even had a bake sale. Well they donated their entire funds they raised from the yard sale to us! Again, blessed beyond measure!

So with the wonderful weekend we had we are even closer now to our goal. We still need, $3,700.

I also wanted to say that we still have some items left from our on-line yard sale and I have reduced the prices, so please take a look.

The Koolzees are really cool, no pun intended. :) This really is a great way to stay cool during this time now that it's getting hot! These are hand made by Elijah's papa and we will be taking one for all of us when we go to China.

Thanks for taking a look and happy shopping!

One big blessing!

I started yesterday off, like any other day, reading my emails.

I came across an email from a gal I know through our online adoption community wanting to donate to help bring Elijah home.

Well let me tell you how this started from her kind donation to being what I call a God shot all the way!

You see she is fund raising for a mission trip to South Africa and she is taking her daughter, who believes she is to help the orphans. Her daughter is also from China and only 6. How sweet is that!

How sweet and kind (ok, it's so much more than that) that she felt led to donate to us. Well she emailed again to say that when she got to work, she had received an anonymous donation for the same amount she donated to us! I absolutely love how she said it. "Just like Jesus." Boy oh boy is she right!

I am still in awe how God blessed both of us yesterday, today and always. Thank you God!!
