Goodbye To Stuff

Yes, it's that time of the year. When I go through my closets and cabinets and have my annual garage sale. I don't know why...but I absolutely love doing this. First, I get to meet the neatest people, then I get to give them a hard time haggling over a price, some stuff I get to just give away or charge a dime, last year I made a man open his wallet cause he was buying something for one dollar and said he only had twenties and I didn't believe him...but that was all he had. It's just fun. This year my baby Christian Debra is going to be with me because she has some items to sell and I can already see us just swapping our stuff and calling it a day! LOL! We have the exact same taste. Then whatever money we make is already spent because I do this sale for one reason, and one reason only...my son's birthday! However, I can't help but think how great it's going to feel to have more room in my closets...more room in my cabinets. Able to better organize what the Lord has graciously loaned me to manage. The feeling of someone looking at something I have and wanting it and taking it to their home to enjoy now. The three and one half hours will go by fast and stuff left over will be donated. Whoever invented these sales invented a great thing. It's also a great way to witness. One year a few Jehovah Witnesses came by and we started chatting and when I told them I use to be one, they asked what made me stop witnessing for the Lord. I was so happy to share with them how my life is a witness and how much I love that Jesus did it all for us when He died and rose from the dead. It was pleasant and easy and above all, it was the Holy Spirit. My team is coming over to help me get stuff fixed up for the "eye appeal" and I'm just excited. I love the Lord, I love my life and I never dreamt it would have been this great. Sure things happen and it almost breaks my heart but stuff is going to happen with or without the Lord. I'd rather have Him in my life because He is my peace and my comforter. I believe He is going to take care of my son and all my loved ones as He woos them to Him! I remembered a part of my dream I just had last night (this is true) and it was a Scripture being spoken over and over. The Scripture was WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I love Him!
