Oh Me of Little Faith



Today I had my first customer. Oh yeah! LOL! Seriously, I am so the character, "Oh ye, of little faith." Yup! That's me! For instance regarding my garage sale. I figured I would have it all sold before the garage sale even opened. HUH? LOL! Well, seriously I called a few people and told them about all my baby equipment and thought, There! That's done. Now I will make $285 before the garage sale even opens!

It didn't happen that way. None of the people called back for baby equipment. Oh well. Then I emailed everyone I knew about the garage sale. Do you know how many people are away this weekend? LOL! Just my luck.

So here I am thinking my garage sale is going to be a dud, even before I have opened the doors! Kick me. *grin* I need to have more faith!!!!

Then today, a girl I knew stopped by and looked at all my beautiful stuff and said she really didn't need more stuff and so she only bought three little things. I was happy to see one of the items she bought go to her. It was a knitting bag my mum bought me years ago. I like this girl, so it was nice to see it go to a 'good home'. And one of the other things she bought was this stool. I put 25cents on it. Then I saw it in the store for $10.00. What a hoot! We SO overpay for new things!!!! What is with that? Overall, her purchases were $2.25 and she paid me $10.00!! She said the cause was so worthy. Praise you Lord!

I spent tonight making posters for the neighbourhood and then some big ones for our yard. They will let people know what we are saving money for.



Cassidy drew a nice poster for the koolaid stand the boys will have. This also thanks people for supporting our adoption. Hopefully it doesn't rain! It tried today. Tonight the sky is clear!

I just want to get past this garage sale and get on with more paperwork!!!! And again I went to the mail box and the retainer agreement and notary papers were not there. Wait, wait, wait....

Please pray our garage sale is a rip roaring success!!! A sweet friend of ours, who our boys call, "Gramma" is coming over to help with the 'rush'. *laugh*!! Our little boys are so excited about the garage sale tomorrow. Austin figures he will have the crowds 'line up' so they won't get disorderly! *laugh*

So please pray that their (our) hopeful little hearts are not disappointed!
