A Nice Little Sunday (& Weekend!)

We've had such a great weekend!  I took Friday off  because our family (think 5 different families in 1) had a huge garage sale to benefit the project we are doing for LivingStone International University.  (See my link above for more info. on Reaching The Masses!  We need all the support we can get!)  Gracie Claire said a prayer before we began... "Lord, please let money rain down from the sky!"  And it did!  We raised a little under $2,000 altogether!  How awesome is that!  God blessed those two days and did great things...even in the rain!

Ummm...I told you it was huge!  We had a U-Haul (the biggest one you can get) completely full, plus some!  Crazy amount of stuff!  Thank goodness for the amazing organizational talent of my SIL Sandra.  She rocked!  Paul and Nkere were awesome doing the heavy work!  Love that too!

 Gracie Claire wanted to do something special, so she took donations for donuts.  This girl was the best girl for the job.  She was not afraid one little bit to yell over and over again, "Donuts For Donations!  Donuts For Donations!"  She did awesome!

 How cute are these two little workers! :)

We had swarms of people...amazing!

By the time we finished the 2nd day, we only had to load up 1/4 of the truck.  God was so good in blessing "Reaching The Masses" through this garage sale!

Sunday morning we woke up to beautiful weather and headed to church!  Oh how I love me some Sunday mornings!  I love the worship, teaching, and especially seeing a young man give his life to the Lord and being baptized!  Awesome.

It was such a pretty morning!  Our drive to the west campus is so much nicer than our old drive! :)

Our preacher started a new series called, "Hearing God."  It's really good!  You can listen by clicking HERE! :)

After church we headed to eat barbecue.  It was so nice, we sat on the patio.  Love me some barbecue on the patio!  Especially with my favorite peeps...

Paul headed out for a bike ride after lunch, so the girls and I stopped by my parents house.  BigPa was tolerant nice enough to "pretend he was asleep so the girls could play a joke on him!" (Sydney's words.)  Do you remember the episode of The Cosby Show where Rudy puts make-up on Cliff while he takes a nap on the couch?  Well, that is where this idea came from.  Yes, my daughters love The Cosby Show as much as I do.  We own all but one season on DVD.  :)  Back to the topic at hand...Dad (who isn't at all wrapped around their little fingers...ha!) "went to sleep" and the girls went to work.  Doesn't he look beautiful?! :)

 LOL!

When the girls and I got home, I cleaned out the car while the girls chased after butterflies.  They're everywhere right now!  Love that!



 It's been such a great weekend! 

There are only 29 more school days until summer!  Bring it on!  Woot!
