Ridiculous!

 

So you want to know what we made on our Orphans Treasures Auction???

 

Blow me away...

 

When I first decided to do it I set a RIDICULOUS goal. I didn't share it with too many people.   It was ridiculous. I've seen other on-line auctions before and I knew what the normal average for an auction would be and my goal was way beyond that average.

 

Plus, we didn't have world-changing auction items for us to reach my ridiculous goal.

 

 

But we have a BIG bill coming as soon as we get travel dates.  A $2,000 dollar bill to the agency that provided Hague oversight to our adoption.  It comes due the day we get our dates. 

 

We can credit card our airline tickets and a bunch of other expenses but we sure didn't want to credit card that bill.

 

So I set a ridiculous goal for our auction because I wanted to cover that $2,000.00 bill.

 

With three families benefitting in our auction... we needed to raise $6,000.00 in order for us to cover that bill.

 

Ridiculous

 

A $6,000.00 auction.

 

I mean I've been to real auctions on farms and at estates and many of them haven't generated $6,000.00 much less an on-line auction!!

 

Ridiculous!!

 

But...

 

Whispered prayers. A TON of work.  Hours and hours and hours of putting it together.  Kind people.  So so so many kind people.  A Loving God.

 

$5,985.32

 

That's how much our auction made.

 

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!

 

We were 14.68 short of $6,000!! Is that not totally ridiculous???? 

 

Does that not make you want to laugh out loud??

 

Between the kindness of so so many people and the answered prayers of a Loving God, we can pay that $2,000 bill!

 

Plus... we still have a Giveaway going on. I didn't include Giveaway donations into that $6,000 total.

 

God so so good!

 

All of you who have poured into helping bring three orphans home are so so kind!!

 

Thank You!!

 

THE GIVEAWAY ENDS TOMORROW...
