Adoption Fundraiser
I can't believe it's been so many days since I"ve posted! Yes, it's been another busy week.
My days this week were spent preparing for another giant yard sale to raise money for Chris and Penny's adoptions expenses. We did one last year, never dreaming we be doing another one, but that's where we found ourselves! The donations were trickling in over the past 2-3 weeks, but we were still excited to see what God was going to do. He amazed us! Wednesday through Friday we received about 5 car and truckloads of donations!! It was outrageous!
Several dear friends from our church small group helped us out by sorting, organizing, selling & haggling. It was so humbling to see them gladly serving on behalf of our family. Thanks to so many who have contributed in various ways--the Goeppner's & Kush's feel incredibly loved!
So in the end, we were utterly exhausted, and categorically elated! The total tally for the day (drumroll, please!).......over $1,100!

The entire Goeppner and Kush families have given so much to so many...what a joy to see the love returned!!! Wish we could've been there to help...but we are praying!
thanks, deb! we sure miss you guys and look forward to seeing you in december:)
This is probably a bad time to ask (kind of like asking a mom if she will have more kids right after she's given birth!).... but.... do you think you'll have another sale in January before their trip?
I'm thinking no right now (great analogy, by the way!), but you never to know what may happen! actually, we may be having a jewelry party (Mollie and her friend Lexy make jewelry) and have all the proceeds go toward adoption costs. i'll let you know when that may happen. i'm thinking january.
