Today we had our 1 day Parking Lot Sale for the very first Lesotho fundraiser! It turned out miraculously! We had so much stuff donated to us. And all week we've been bringing order to something that looked completely unorganized. I guess I shouldn't put the credit on us but to God. It's truly hard to fathom what He has done with this event.
I’ve been at the church every night this week but Thursday, sorting, pricing, organizing all the items, dealing with tempers flaring, egos colliding, you name it. But God brought order to chaos and it ended up being such an incredible event. I even rushed to bake for the Bake Sale going along with the garage/parking lot sale. I wish I would have taken pictures!
We raised over $2,900 for our trip!!!! I still can’t believe it. We were hoping for 2,000 at first, then it went to 2,500, and then we just realized that setting our goal to 3,000 wasn’t too unattainable and we were only a few dollars shy of that! Thank you Lord!!!
It was a very draining experience. I felt overwhelmed and stressed but excited all at once. And all the hard work was worth it! God is definitely in this trip. I can feel the strength from God and the attack from the enemy tearing me up inside. That’s when you know you’re doing a good work, when Satan goes overtime on messing with your brain. But this has reminded me of Gods sovereign power. He is truly awesome!
I bought a dresser that I’m going to take on as a fun project. I have no clue where it’ll fit in my room mind you, but it’ll be fun sanding it and making it my own. I’ve needed a dresser for quite some time.
Tomorrow’s our 3rd annual SuperBowl party at my house. I don’t really like the superbowl but it’s something the youth like and it gives us an excuse to have an event. But Rachel and I are going to pretty much be sanding in the backyard while the game is on and peak our heads in on the commercials. ;) hehehe
Well my fingers are frozen and my back aches and my nice warm bed sounds extremely inviting. I’m going to crash early tonight.
Bye!
