Goal Planning Monday ~ Yard Sale...again

I had a good week. Tiring, but good. We make goals and some weeks we don't accomplish all we had planned. Sometimes it is our laziness, but sometimes it is because God had other plans for our weeks than we did. The verse I am memorizing now is Proverbs 16:9 (ESV) " The heart of man plans his ways, but the LORD establishes his steps." Take heart. Try again. If you were lazy next week then purpose to do better in those areas this week. If God through a monkey wrench in your plans then know that it was His will and that you may understand why, or you may not, but God knows what is coming for us this week, nothing will surprise Him, and He will lead us if we lean on him.

I did not exercise. I did not comment on Cristi's GPM post, I meant to, but forgot. I did not craft just for myself. So, I will try again on those things this week.

Our plans for the flea market changed to a yard sale, and getting the stuff ready took a LOT longer than I thought it would. We have a LOT left over and are going to put them out again on Friday and Sat. this week. We made some money and bought some food with it. Pray we do even better this week. We also did not go through everything in the basement so we have some more sorting and pricing to do.

Chick-fil-A, where my son works, was having free breakfasts this week. Since ds had to be AT WORK at 6am we, his crazy family, decided to get up and go with him then sit in the car for 1/2 an hour til they opened so we could get the free breakfast. The free breakfast was a chicken biscuit,  I also got a free waffle with a free gift card they gave out a couple months ago, and a free orange juice with the calendar card. Fun was had by all.

Dd Rachel is STILL struggling with the poison sumac on her foot, it looks much better but she still can't wear shoes. So continue to keep her in your prayers.

Have Courage my friends. Try again. Post goals and work toward them. Here are mine....

1. Read. Done,
2. Work on a craft for myself: doodle, cross stitch, scrapbook, digital scrapbook... something. Not Done
3. Get stuff ready for the flea market on Saturday, we are going to to sell stuff to make money to pay our bills. Done - but as I said we changed to a yard sale. We forgot all about my son's Sat. work schedule. It would have been annoying to work out. Hubby would have had to drive 45 min. to the flea market, we would have had to take ds with us, we would have had to leave home at 6:15 or so. We would have had to leave the middle bench in the van so ds could ride with us, so we would not have fit as much stuff in. We would have had to unload and then dh would have had to drive ds to work about 30 min from the flea market, then come back, finish the flea market, drive the leftovers and I home then later go back out and get our son and bring him home from work. Tooooooo much trouble. So we set up in the yard. We may have made more money at the flea market, or we may have not, only God knows. At home we could take turns also, especially in the hot part of the day. We had the yard sale from about 8am til 3pm. We were all exhausted afterwards.
4. Attend, help out at, sell stuff at flea market on Saturday. Done

 For this week that is 12 Done, 0 Partly Done, and 3 Not Done.
