WOW!  God is so Good!  I'm utterly speechless over yesterdays outcome. 

A friend asked what I was hoping for?  I was kinda skeptical..... (maybe because of past garage sale experiences, maybe lack of faith)

But I didn't really have an expectation....  We do however have a notice on our fridge (next to that beautiful face of chance)  saying ....  URGENT: PRAYER REQUEST pray for $2500 due immediately.  The concept of a garage sale fundraiser   ( for those that don't know) is that you ask others to donate their un -wanted items for you to sell . Some people suggest no price tags, let people just donate what they feel lead to donate....... For those of us with "control issues" this is a reach..... 1. You have no idea what or if anything is coming to sell. 2. When it's coming?  I have great friends, so I knew something Good was gonna come of this event but was cautiously optimistic.

This past week was....... Hmmm............. not sure exactly how to explain other than to say.... Satan had alot of fun with those involved with making this event come together. So if you don't believe in spiritual warfare, CALL ME!    The Longenecker family had 4 of it's 6 vehicles in the shop with very expensive repairs.We had 8 house guest from all over the US this week. Our fridge went out. Had a crisis with an extended family member.Had two extras move in with us, Two root canals, and  Cindy, sweet friend hosting the sales AIR Conditioning went out. and on and on 

All that said..... God covered my lack of faith and proved to me once again to not LIMIT him.

The amount raised yesterday was......... $2506.  ( I wouldn't have thought we had enough items to sell to make that.) We were over flowing out Cindy's garage down the driveway.  Most items were $1  we might have sold 4 things over $20..... 

We were so blessed..... With donations items, from friends, family and total strangers.... We had people sort, price and work the day of the sale. (even in the 108 temp)  My biggest "WORRY" was "would people come?"   Well ...... at one point we had a line of 15 and at least 50 people shopping.

I had the opportunity to share about orphans and orphan ministry with at least 30 people...... Met several adopted children, saw pictures of many more. Saw people come just to SERVE! ( one special woman had lost her mother the night before but knew her mother was having a great time with Jesus in Heaven and just wanted to come help Chance get that chance)  Made several new friends and saw God first hand at work. 

THANK YOU!  May you be blessed because of how you have blessed us.

THANK YOU! For sharing and helping with orphan Ministry.

THANK YOU! That one day sweet Chance will have an amazing testimony that you helped create.

The LONGENECKER family!
