Still Learning!

Apparently I need a good lesson or two in patience! And to keep trusting that the Lord will provide! I am doing a clear out the clutter challenge, based on Money Saving Mom's blog, and cleaned out our linen closet on Tuesday. As I did I realized Charlotte's hair accessories are just OUT OF CONTROL! So, I wanted a Caboodle box for her (surely you gals of the 70s and 80s remember the Caboodle box?) Now, instead of running out to the store ASAP (which I really do not do), I went to freecycle and posted a wanted for a Caboodle box. At the same time I offered a bunch of items, which go figure were taken right away, but anyway I digress! So, today I went to Target (had to get the oil changed in the car and Target is right across the street.) Lo and behold, there were Caboodle boxes! So, I bought one! I come home and check email and I have not one, but TWO responses from people letting me know they have Caboodle boxes I can have (for FREE, hence the name of Freecycle.) Oh boy, if only I had waited to get the Caboodle box I now need to return. If only I trusted that the Lord knows the desires of our hearts (and yes, He even cares about getting something for free rather than paying $12.99 to help with my sanity and organizing!) So, yes, I'm still learning!

All I can say is that you inspired me to pray for "easy". I've had rockstar parking everywhere I've gone since. Including twice downtown. God provides for me.
