My Saturday Yard Sale Finds 2/15/2014


Here are some pictures of the yard sale finds. It was a pretty morning with lots of goodies. One place looked like something out of an antique store. The seller mentioned she would do better on ebay
yet didn't know the first thing about utilizing it. Poor thing! I kept quiet because I totally could have spent  hours showing  her!
There were fundraisers and people just having too much! It was a reminder to start spring cleaning ! 





Cute Guest Book! 





There you have it!

Short Term Mission Trip 2014





Most of you know ,I have been growing in my faith for the past year. God placed a yearning for me  to serve at Skyline's beautiful Café, attend a great bible study class on Thursday mornings and this July serve on a Missions Trip to Nuneland. Note: name made up for security reasons. 


I'm asking God to put a giving heart to family and friends and the blogging world so I can help serve in this years short term mission trip. The cost is $2,500. Yeah, I know. Being a single parent barely making ends meet coming up with $2,500.00 is short of a miracle however I truly believe with God anything is possibly.


I have fundraisers in mind yet wanted my out of town blogging buddies and Facebook Friends to partake in my fundraising. Every bit helps!



There are several ways to give:

1. Being part of my Prayer Team & Praying for our Nuneland Team. 

2.Giving to the "Donation Button" Tab on the right of the blog.


3. Mailing a Check or Money Order :made out to Skyline Church
