WOW! It seems so overwhelming to think the auction is done. It was so much fun and we were blessed beyond what we could have ever imagined. We know we are going where God wants us to go, but times like the auction really confirm that we need to keep taking each step day by day in the way God leads. We can not take one step without Him leading the way. It is sometimes so hard stepping out and not knowing where or how you are going to get there, but God calls us to trust in HIM!
We have so many people to thank for making the night a success. We thank the team of people that helped us organize the night, we couldn't have done it with out you! We thank Ray and Randy for doing a great job auctioning. We also thank the people that showed up to help when we didn't even realize we needed help and then realized that we couldn't have done it without you. We thank our kid's teachers for putting up with our incredible tired children and still loving them. We thank people who brought us meals that were so delicious, but the best part is that it brought our family together for a meal during a really busy week!
We thank everyone who came to the auction and made it so much fun! We were overwhelmed by the number of people who came. We were overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. We thank everyone who donated items that we could auction! It was amazing to see people come around us and support us in this way. We thank all who brought desserts so we could call it an extravaganza!
We thank our parents and family who have supported us through this all, even though it sometimes makes them really sad!
As you can see the thanks are never ending! I am sure that I missed many people, but thank-you to all who made it possible, but mostly we thank God for His provision. He knew the beginning to the end!
Here are some pictures of the night! Enjoy!
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26
