"If we ever are afraid of the future, eternity, or God’s judgment, we can remind ourselves of God’s love. We know that he loves us perfectly (Romans 8:38, 39). We can resolve our fears first by focusing on his immeasurable love for us, and then by allowing him to love others through us. His love will quiet your fears and give you confidence." - Study Bible Commentary on 1 John 4:18

Only One More Day.....


Until we kick off our first fundraiser!

Our Adoption Awareness/Garage Sales

Yikes!! Yay!

Scary! Excited!

We have been working on this garage sale forever since the end of May.  Wow.

We have had so much help and support from our sweet friends!

Thank you L, T, D, J, and S!!!  Y'all rock.

We have received so many donations....like a ton!!!








I have a three car garage y'all.....
And we still had to store items in my house!







We have had so much fun.

We have laughed.

We have talked.

We have priced.

We have hanged so many clothes.

We have folded so many clothes.

We have arranged and re-arranged.

Our kids have gone wild!!!!

For Real!


I feel God's hands all over this.
Our friends are learning so much about adoption.
They are telling other people about adoption.

Our neighbors are learning so much about adoption.
They are telling other people about adoption.

It  has been Mandy and my hope and intention to bring awareness about adoption and the world wide orphan crisis to our community.

Mandy and I want to inform and educate.
We want people to ask us questions.
We can not wait to share!!!

What a perfect platform God has given to us to do just that!

And so, in just one day.....

We kick off this first fundraiser.

This opportunity to tell others about adoption!

So cool!

So God!

So perfect!!!



"There is not fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear...."
1 John 4:18

    God blesses us first and foremost so that we can bring glory to His name.
    Our glory has been shown with every little price tag, box unloaded and shirts folded.
    So honored to be on this journey with you!
