Garage Sale

We had a garage sale this weekend.  I'm really trying to turn it into a resale shop where we can have more sales out of our garage and once we get going, finding a store front somewhere.  It was an idea I had...we had several people this weekend tell us that we should do so.  I'm going to print up some business cards as we are already licensed for resale anyway...we've just been more online, than anything.  I already have had people emailing to schedule a time and come to shop.  I also put out an email as foster/adoptive families will always be near and dear to me that I would give them a discount to shop with us.  I may try a discount card as well.  One thing at a time...but I'm pretty excited about it.  :-)  I may see how I do too once school starts with alternating sales between one evening a week one week and then staying open during school hours the following week on Fridays.  We'll see how it goes.  It'll hopefully bless our fellow community and it will give us some money to go towards paying for neurofeedback therapy for Josiah as well.

God please bless us with this and bless the people that come to shop with us.  Amen

Dreams

As I spent my quiet time today, I found myself praying about some dreams that I have. I thought I'd share them here. I'm excited to see where God takes them. I only want to do His Will for my life...it's not about Me...I want to do it all to glorify Him. I prayed that God would give our booth at Country Corner Treasures (Ferris, TX) favor so that we can bring in some more sales. I prayed that God would bless our ebay business (our user name is andesbear if anyone wants to take a look) and that we can get our powerseller status and top-rated seller status back. I also told God that I'd really like to write a book of prayers for adoptive families to pray for their children. I asked for guidance from the Holy Spirit there. It's hard with some of these struggles we face and I want to be an encouragement to others. I also would like to have an online consignment shop and maybe one day when the kids are grown actually have a store-front somewhere around here. However, I started my little shop on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/FiveLittleDucksResaleShop and I am praying that God will bless Five Little Ducks Resale Shop and help it to grow. Those are some dreams of mine that I want to work on and let God lead me. :-)
