It was a miracle

Our garage sale was amazing this weekend. Our goal for the enitre weekend was $500 and we were going to be super excited and feel incredibly blessed to have reached that goal. Well, God had something else in mind for us. Our total for both days was $2,933.03!!! How amazing is that?! The most we have ever made at a garage sale was $80. So, needless to say we were left speechless and in awe of this God who knows what we need, when we need it.
Thank you so much to all our friends and family who were praying for us this weekend and to all those who donated items, stopped by, helped us both days. This would have been a much more difficult task without all of you by our side.
Well, I hope to have pictures posted soon but our computer is just not cooperating. So, check back...they should be up this week.
We also have our intake interview with Bethany this Wednesday at 9:30-11:30. We are very excited but also a bit nervous because we don't really know what an intake interview is so we don't know what to expect. We would really appreciate your prayers!!
Thank you again for loving us and praying for us....we can't wait to tell our son or daughter someday how much God loves them and how much all of you have loved them before ever meeting them.

Joy & Jake,
That is amazing, and yet not because we serve an incredible God who is soooo capable of such things. Thanks for posting about this and allowing us to all rejoice and praise God with you! I can't wait to hear about how the interview went today.
