Go Big or Go Home!

So, most of you in the area know our crazy, oh my goodness..what in the world did I do, plan!


...but for those who don't....


After the past weekend's success in raising money to send to Hackleburg Helping Hands, we really felt like we weren't quite done yet....soooo....


I signed us up as a vendor in Winnebago's 4th of July Fest.   


Seriously, this is huge...big time....makes you take some major pause going from a little lemonade stand to an actual Event!


After trying to figure out how many cookies to make...which is completely impossible....Jim just said let's set a dollar amount that we'd like to reach and go from there...


This Saturday we are beginning to start baking..wait for it...wait for it...


100 Dozen Cookies!!! I feel a smidge like Dr. Evil when I say this to people!



The ingredient list alone is so overwhelming!  40 lbs of powdered sugar...6 doz eggs...160 oz peanut butter....44 lbs of Butter!!!  Don't even get me started on flour!


This is becoming so much bigger than anything we can handle on our own...


If you could keep this in your prayers, I would really appreciate it!!!  Already this is spreading like wildfire..who knows what all God will do through this little stand...but He does work mightily through the little guy and you can't get much more meager than us!   Pray for favor, that we could raise unbelievable God sized amounts to help out Hackleburg.  Pray for volunteers that will come alongside us as we bake bake BAKE and during the Festival on the 3rd and 4th---and that the weather will be spectacular and draw huge crowds!  And last, but certainly not least, pray that while we're out there selling, we would have divine appointments to show God's love :)
