Hot Item!!

I have recently taken up a new hobby! Garage Sales!!! I have always wanted to go to sales, but never seem to have time or the motivation to do it--especially by myself. With recent changes in our family, I immediately had to make time and be motivated out of necessity to start!

I had one day to hit sales in PC. I prayed hard!! Matthew 7:8
"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." God knew what I needed and I just asked Him to lead me to it! The first house I went to I made my first purchase--a section couch that I was able to get down from $400 to $150. (I didn't think that was bad for a newbie on the first strike :) Several loved ones (who will remain annonymous LOL) gave me a very hard time about my purchase, but I still knew I did good - even though the couch was very well worn! We have used the couch since November.

At the beginning of January someone who knew I was looking for furniture asked me if I would like their loveseat and couch. I explained to them my situation and how hard of a time I had been given and they gave me their almost brand new set. Seriously-it looks like it has never been sat on! It is beautiful! God has been so good to us! He knows what we have need of even before we do and before we ask!! Matthew 6:8 "...for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.") So now I had two couches!!

Well, late night I had the "brilliant" idea of listing the sectional on Craigslist. Now, I have never done that before so I had no idea what to expect. My add went live on craigslist at 9:05 this morning "Tan Sectional - $100" and within 30 minutes I had received over 25 phone calls and was in a bidding war and a race as to who could get to the house fastest! It was WILD!!!! By 11:00am I had sold the couch, had $100 in hand and the couch was out of my house!!! Again, not bad for a newbie!!

I think I may have just found a new career!

<i>Father - thank you for caring about the little things in our life!
