Jennie, A WORLD TRAVELER, Peddles Fantastic Wares From A Far!
Selling it all...and stepping out in faith. I have been all over the world, each time knowing that it was for a few months, a couple of years, never permanent. This time is different...my parents are older, no room to store old memories. Of course, I am keeping a few items that hold significant memories for me. They are after all only things. I have been working hard to sort out that which I may need for ministry opportunities, "side job" (they are nearly one in the same craftwise), downsizing while trying to maintain a few memories.
As a tentmaker, I will need some essential tools of the trade, thankfully techology makes that a little easier these days! Decisons: keep or throw, store or take to my office (temporary storage and workplace), can or more like will I use this where I am going? Then pack it to store or ship! Recovering from major abdominal surgery has not made this transition any easier, however it has made me be more reflective to the point that I actually pack in my sleep. Strategizing, most of all praying over items I first thought I really needed! I think I have enough stuff to have 10 more sales, there may be another just before shipping, who knows. Unless I know exactly where I will be and what I will be doing, I may need to store items for short or long-term before shipping. Since I may need to have someone ship things on my behalf--I need to have an inventory (next week's chore--at least making a list for myself.)
Here are the details I promised re: my sale...this list is by no means exhaustive it is just to give you an idea of the types of things that I wil be selling this weekend. Hope you come by to have a chat and at least browse. I invite all to pray for me as I pursue God's call on my life. I am excited about this new adventure. Please pray that I am obedient to his call in my life. This is not about what I do but about what HE DID for us (me)! Scroll down to check out my own salvation (inspired by that which we sing at CityPrayz!).
I will try to put a few examples on my facebook page today or tomorrow, time permitting!
