It has been a few days since I have been able to post. Within that time I have had a few more opportunities come up to make some money. So to update you, I have sold a day bed on Craigslist, but don’t we need it? Well actually, in serving some close friends by helping them move, we were in the right place at the right time. They had bunk beds they weren’t going to be using at their new house, so guess what? We could use them so they gave them to us! Also they had a bunch of “kids” stuff in their basement they were getting rid of. So I took that as well. We kept a lot of it and sold what we already had (their stuff was better anyways).
I try to always wear jewelery to church that my mom makes, now much of the time, I get no comments or anyone interested. But today, guess what, someone bought it right off my neck (thanks Teresa :)) I have had this happen quite often (I actually keep the price tag on it, lol). Another friend of mine shared with me that she is trying to do some of the things I am to make some money as well. She is actually going to be at a festival, and offered to sell my moms jewelery for me, what a blessing in serving others she is showing, and she will be rewarded ;). We are also going to be selling together in a couple of other local festivals, fun stuff if your like me and love to people watch and interact with others. (bonus-they are usually on Saturday mornings, and my husband can parent the kiddies)
Update: After selling the copier from church, I had lady approach me about helping her sell some of her stuff as well. More to come on that!
And finally today my church has approved me to begin construction of our website (we have been without one for quite a while). I am so excited because it has been a total learning experience in patience, trust, understanding protocol, and being emotionally intelligent (which I really need help with). But who knows the blessings that will come from this… I know one already, everyone will not have to contact me any longer to get other people’s contact info…. ( I have been a walking phone/email book).
Hopefully, this post has given you some hope, and got your creative juices flowing, in looking for opportunity. I give all the glory to God for his “plans” for me, and opening the doors.
Please feel free to comment and share what you are doing to get rid of debt.
