Yesterday was a good day. Before I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and life just about 4 years ago, I was a very materialistic person and me me selfish person. Anytime I was down in the dumps, I would go on huge shopping excursions and try to make myself feel better. And believe me it wasn't no Walmart shopping back then. After a few days I would feel bad and return half the stuff I bought because I felt guilty.
So when I went on my garage sales yesterday, which I have really never done before, I had a glimpse of my old life thinking, "woman is that how you cure your pain"? By shopping? But really it wasn't that. I wasn't materialistic, I just wanted to feel close to my children and get some things for them, like do a little cheap nesting. Yesterday was so different. I was very humble because I do believe that there are garage sale shoppers that can be just like how I was before and just because they garage sell shop that doesn't make them any less worldly because they spent less. They think they get good deals and that is how they accumulate all this worldly junk they don't need. Worldly treasures we cannot take to heaven. Well and here it is, I got me some deals. I am so proud. That is the purpose of my post really, to brag what I got for $20.00 exact and here is:
For my boy B:
5 pair of pants, 3 sweat jackets, 1 sweatsuit, 1 pair of shorts
For my girl H:
3 white longs sleeve blouses, 1 pair of brand new sandals, 1 Disney Cinderella velvet jacket, and a pink winter jacket.
I also got a little purse and six children's books.
After that, I spent most of the day with Kevin, we went to Ikea and looked for beds. We found a really cool bed for our boy and think we will get a bunk bed for our girl. But I think we will wait to purchase the beds till after they make court. At least we know where to look. Kevin and I have decided with this adoption that we are not going crazy with big purchases like beds until we know the kids are ours. We have been through too much trying to adopt and blowing up money to adopt.

I am so proud of your first attempt at garage saling! Think of all you got for $20 and you could have spent that on 1 winter jacket if you bought it from the store.
