We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.But those who make their journey home across time & miles,growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.

Garage Sale

We had a garage sale this weekend and it went well. We are slowly, very slowly chipping away at our fundraising. It was cool to see God answer a very specific prayer of mine though. We had some friends donate a whole eagle collection and I prayed that God would send eagle lovers/collectors. All of the eagle items sold before noon (like 18 of them) while the rest of our decorations sat untouched. God is good. Everyone who came to our garage sale was very encouraging and excited about our adoption. I expected some people to look at us weird or judgingly when we said he would be from Africa, but everyone was genuenly supportive. This made me really happy, because it gives me a little confidence that the biracial family we are creating will be more accepted then I thought. Over all it has been a good weekend, even if it has been 44 degrees all day:)

I love it when God does something just to prove that He can. It's just another reminder that He's in control. I'm glad your sale went well!
