God is SO good to me. Don said it perfectly yesterday, “To think, a week ago, I was worried.”
We raised more than enough money to get the Thrivent match just from the bake sale. Then, we were blessed with so many donations of items for the yard sale that we made twice that again. Then, we were gifted another large amount to top it all off!
All said and done, our little fundraiser brought in over $3000!
We were also donated the use of a moving truck (no charge), another generous person offered to pay for the gas…
We found a house to rent, and now have enough money to move in.
We are counting down to the big day.. 12 days to go.
The moving truck will arrive at 8am on August 2nd, we’ll be loaded by 12noon, arrive in Fort Wayne by 4pm, unload and be living in our new (temporary) home by bedtime.
I sound like a broken record when I say again, it is all very exciting and terrifying at the same time, but there is just no better description of how I feel.
We had another showing on the house today; they were here for over thirty minutes. I think that’s a good sign. We prayed that they would write up an offer on the spot.
We do know that even if they don’t make an offer, it was a blessing to have the showing. It forced us to get our yard cleaned up from the sale and to get our house back in order. It’s been a hectic and amazing weekend, we feel abundantly blessed, and exceptionally tired.
Early to bed tonight
Amazing Weekend
