Bad at Blogging

I knew when my friend told me to start a blog back in Oct, I would be bad at it. I didn't think it would be this bad. No post since Feb,and so much has happened since then. One reason I find updating my blog difficult, is because our internet service is dial up and its soooo slow. Is has taken 45 min for the new post page to pull up, so I can write this!
Everything was very busy getting ready for our rummage sale held March 26th and 27th. The rummage sale was a huge blessing!! God brought people to help us every step of the way. It was amazing to watch Him work through His people. The final deposit including donations given the day of the sale was $4,180!!!! I'm still in awe. I got more good news while I was in AL that we were approved for a matching grant through Lifesong for Orphans up to 2,5oo!!! That means 4,180 will actually be 6,680!!!!! None of this would have been possible without all those who gave of their time and resources. I had never seen anything like it before. People just showed up to donate items, fold clothes, price items, offer to watch my little ones, bring lunch, you name it, and they didn't even have to be asked!!! God provided what we needed right when we needed it!! When we got hungry someone would show up with food. When I was exhausted and couldn't hink about what to do next someone would show up and do what needed to be done. When I needed someone to watch my little guys someone would offer or show up at my house. When we needed help making signs there was help right there!!! What I saw God do before, during and after our sale has been amazing. I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world. Thank you to all who helped!! May God bless you for caring for orphans in their distress, James 1:27
We received our I71H during the rummage sale busyness and then I left for AL, so last night we faxed our dossier to our social worker for review. She says we need an extra document we didn't have. We'll get that done Mon. Meanwhile over the weekend she will send everything to the Ukraine facilitator to look over our dossier. If she gives a thumbs up, we can get everything apostilled and off to Ukraine this week!! Then we wait for a date to go and meet Irina. WOW!! I can't imagine what that meeting will be like. She doesn't even know we are coming for her!!
