My craigslist encounter :)

So selling things on craiglist is new to me. As you know we got rid of Verizon so I figured I should sell my phone and use the money for that nice little cancellation fee they charge!

Well of course I had a phone that was free when upgraded and on Verizon's website it was only $50. So I put it up on craigslist for $25.

Someone wanted it that night... Great I though,t "I sold it too cheap!" I could have gotten MORE MONEY!!

Then I did a search online and saw that on Amazon this phone was selling for $3! Oh that got to me. I couldn't give this poor lady who is buying the phone for her daughter this phone for $25..

Then I remembered how Dave Ramsey talked about giving.. Truly giving not when it is conveinant for you. He told the story of a couple going into IHop and leaving a very generous tip. (I can't remember the amount but it was more than $100!) And it was all money that they had saved!

So I decided that I would give this phone to her.. So Riley and I are having fun singing songs and eating snacks in the car and a mom and daughter pull up. Shes got the money in her hand and as she hands me the money I tell her, " You know God has blessed me with so much in my life, I want to pass the blessing on to you!" I was nervous and excited and she paused the look on her face was so amazing. She was so grateful and her daughter was so excited!

It was a great feeling.. It made me think, "Why don't I do this more?"

And on this note... BIG NEWS!  You are now reading the blog of the OPERATIONS MANAGER for Habitat for Humanity in Genesee County!! WHoo HOooo...  God's plan amazes me so much and keeps me laughing as I always have moments where I think I know me better than he does.. and that is always proven WRONG!!
So a new chapter begins again!
