Clean House: Ethiopia Adoption Style! (Yard Sale Results)

Yesterday was simply amazing to say the least!  In total, we raised a little over $2600 and are waiting for confirmation of a possible ATV 4-wheeler sale!  God totally showed us much favor and grace throughout the day.  There were so many times that we saw the hand of God.  Despite the fact that the signs were removed from the road that led to our main street, the people still miraculously showed up.  Simply amazing!  Then, what about the gracious woman who while walking her dog asked if she could bring back some donations for us.  In the midst of receiving our donations, she left us with a truly AWESOME financial blessing.  Then, what about the young person from our church, Devaughn, that agreed for a few hours to wear a Mr. Incredible costume to attract traffic from the main street to our side streets.  His sign read 'Incredible Yard Sale'.

We had so many things left, so much more to put out, and more people that would like to donate and volunteer their time.  Because of this, we will have part 2 of this Yard Sale event.  A friend reminded me that this was truly like the show Clean House....in fact, we raised what some of those families average in sale.  The only thing we missed was Niecy Nash's matching amount of $2000!  Any takers???? smile.  If so, here's the link on how to donate!  *smile*  http://lifeabitsweeter.blogspot.com/p/donate_21.html
