I was completely awestruck by the generosity of our friends, family and neighbors over the weekend. We needed to raise funds to cover the cost of our move to Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne. We were praying that we would raise enough to cover first month's rent (and other move-in costs), and maybe enough to pay for a moving truck and gas to get our stuff there. This little fundraiser (yard sale and bake sale) brought in all of that times three!
We are so blessed.
Our moving date is Sunday August 2nd. Eleven days to go.
Don said it perfectly on Saturday when we passed our original goal, "To think, a week ago, I was worried."
Exactly!
We have been struggling to trust that God will provide, struggling not to worry, and to think, we were worried... oh, us of little faith.
God is good, and so are His people.
Much thanks to all who volunteered their time, gave items to sell, baked delicious goodies, fed us over the weekend, bought delicious goodies, bought treasures at the sale, and to everyone who made a financial contribution - we are ever grateful. Our faith has grown because of all of you!
