Garage Sale Entertainment

Tomorrow will start day 7 of the garage sale fundraiser for Urban Arts. I'm pretty exhausted from setting up, tearing down, moving from drive way to drive way, and doing it all over again...but it has been worth it. We have raised nearly 1500.00 over 6 days for the camps! That will cover art supplies, t-shirts, lunches, and a little more!

I have to say though, that I have been able to do something the last few weekends that I rarely make time to do-people watch. What intriguing individuals. I remember one of my assignments in grad school was to people watch. I thought it was hilarious at the time. Once I started the assignment though, my mind was opened to the complexity of the individual. God created some crazy, funny people! It has been amusing, sad, enjoyable, and fun to meet the hundreds of people who have stopped by (or drove slowly by). I may be a little sad for my weekend sales to come to an end. Oh well, off to bigger and better things and the reason I am doing the garage sales in the first place!-Urban Arts Camps!:)

No Such Thing as Little Miracles

As I was thinking back about how my day unfolded, I was thanking God for the little miracle He gave me. Then I stopped. I thought, who am I to call a miracle little? There is no such thing as a miracle being little. A miracle is one of the biggest signs that our God is still alive and well and answering our prayers! Even if I think my request is little.

Today was the first garage sale for Urban Arts. The weatherman was calling for rain all day. The day before had rain and the storms were suppose to continue throughout Saturday. We really needed this garage sale. So, I prayed all week and asked the Lord to hold the rains off. All day I continued to glance at the sky and thank the Lord for the clouds, sun, and wind. It wasn't until 2:58pm that we felt our first drops of rain.

You may be thinking, it's just rain. But as I sit here typing this entry tonight and the rain is pounding against my window, I am reminded that God gave me my miracle today and it wasn't a little miracle; it was a miracle!
