Yard Sale

What an amazing day!  Our God is so great and so faithful!  The yard sale this morning was amazing.  We had so many wonderful friends help in so many ways.  We had 2 entire trucks and trailers full of items as well as our van.  It all sold!  Really, every last item.  I had been trying for over a week to get a charity or thrift store to come pick up the leftovers after the sale, and every one kept telling me no.  Supprisingly, when the sale was over, what little we had left we were boxing up, and a man pulled up and bought it all!  PRAISE THE LORD! I love to see God show up!

To all of you who helped set up, who donated items, and who stayed with us through the sale, you were a special kiss from God to us.  Thank you to all of you!  Your love, support, and encouragement is such a blessing to us.  We are so humbled to know that our sweet little one has touched your heart so deeply that you would so generously and selflessly help us bring her home.  To say "thank you" doesn't even come close to the overwhelming emotion in our hearts.  We pray God's abundant blessing over each of you as you have so generously blessed us.

Through this sale, God provided far beyond our human expectations.  This was truly a faith building and faith encouraging experience.  He never ceases to amaze us!

Blessings,
The Bohlingers

Home Study and Yard Sale

Home Study:

     We have completed our third appointment with our social worker and just have a little more paperwork to do before we can do our fourth and final visit with a social worker at our adoption agency in Birmingham.  We have an all day class coming up the end of October at at the International Adoption Clinic at UAB and medical exams scheduled for the whole family within the next 2 weeks.  What a busy time!

Yard Sale:

     Next Saturday, September 22, and amazing group of friends will be helping us with a yard sale.  We will be raising money for us and other families that are currently in the adoption process.  If you have any items that you would like to get out of your garage or attic and would like to donate them, please let us know.  The yard sale will be at LifeGate Christian Center 1091 Old Railroad Bed Road, Madison, Alabama, from 7am-12noon.  Stop by and check out all the great items that will be for sale.  Thank you LifeGate for allowing us to use your parking lot and thank you to all our friends who are helping with this sale.  You have deeply touched our hearts.

Blessings,
Frank and Tonya
