Another Vickerman's China Adoption Story: YARD SALE FUNDRAISER

The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

YARD SALE FUNDRAISER

Yard sales are ALOT of work but it was well worth it! We were blessed by many families that helped to contribute items and a few special friends that came to help us before with pricing and during the yard sale - a special thanks to them!!

Can you believe that i don't have a picture to post!!! We were so busy that i couldn't get away to snap a shot! We made $1200! We were told that we had the biggest yard sale in Kennewick - and we still have a garage full of stuff. We are trying to figure out what to do with the left overs - should we have another or give it to another family needing to raise $ (not sure who wants to do a yard sale though...) I think that if it wouldn't have rained, then we would have gotten rid of alot more - we were just thankful that there wasn't any wind and that it held out long enough for us to be blessed with what we made!
