Thank You! (Garage Sale SUCCESS)

Hello everyone,

We were AMAZED at the success of the garage sale!  So many individuals and families donated items and came to shop, and on the day of the sale, some donated extra money.  The final total was approximately $1000!  That's enough to cover the next $500 payment and to start paying on the $5000 due at the end of the home study.  We are so blessed!  God has provided through the goodness of others willing to follow His command to help the fatherless.  We are trusting Him to continue His provision.  As Paul said to the Philippians:

For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times.  Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account.  But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance.  I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided--a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.  And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever.  Amen.  (Philippians 4:16-20)

Also, we are especially thankful to our parents who helped with the logistics of the sale.  We could not have done it without them.  Finally, we are thankful for those shoppers who gave us support verbally.  We heard statements like, "We make sure to attend all adoption garage sales" and "I have my family, and I want you to have yours."

Thank you dear friends,

Jared and Ashley
