Yard Sale!!

Yall. 
I don't even know where to start. Seriously. People have been giving us items since October for our yard sale...that was supposed to happen in October... and then it rained. 
And then it was supposed to happen in November....and then it rained. 
And again in December, and it was strangely cold in Savannah. And again in January and February on the dates we chose. 
So we picked a date in March....and it rained. Seriously. At this point we're wondering what we're going to do with all this stuff that's laying around hidden in every available space possible. So picked a date in April and the location fell through. Then we were questioning if we were supposed to even be having a yard sale to raise funds. I mean really, how hard can a yard sale be. So we contacted one last place and threw out a date and they said Yes! So we planned. We were bound and determined to have the yard sale May 3....rain or shine. If we had to hang tarps or find an indoor location, we would. lol 
But man oh man did God give us a GREAT day! It was beautiful! He even gave us a little rain storm to cool things off before the clouds left the sky and not a single one was to be found! After everything was sold, repacked and put away...we have enough stuff to have another yard sale (which will be happening next week on the east side of town) and another in Bluffton in June. We have a friend from church that is just starting all of their adoption paperwork and she came and was able to look through all of the "left overs" and took a car load home with her for their adoption fundraiser yard sale! 
A friend that helped us pack the stuff away joked that it seemed as though it was like the fishes and loaves...because every time we put a box in the truck...three more came out of nowhere. He supplies our needs. God is GOOD!!
several hours into it...and i said let's take a pic..and the response: "don't put it
on facebook!"...so i didn't..i'm putting it on the internet. lol sorry guys! 

this was about 2 hours after we started..and SO MUCH was already gone. 

again, about 2 hours after we started!

So...for the final total.....$1750!!!!
A HUGE thank you! Thank you to EVERYONE that prayed, donated, lifted boxes, packed boxes, priced stuff, came and helped unload the truck and sell stuff! THANK YOU!!!!
I'm sure this little face (below) will be grateful for your help! Thank you for helping us get a little bit closer!!
