Baby steps...

We have our first garage sale donations! Yay!!! So grateful!! I'm gonna be honest here... I'm also overwhelmed (Andrea here). There are SOOO many decisions and details to manage, and life gets busy! 

I have been trying to plan our handmade items sale and garage sale, but I'm stuck in the Port of indecision. I still need to schedule and plan these events, but I'm still mulling over details and getting organized (I'm sooo Type A). 

So when my sweet friend Kathryn, who is moving very soon, said she has a truck load of donations for our garage sale, I was a bit hesitant. Where would I put it? Should I plan the garage sale before the handmade items sale? Should I wait to accept donations? 

Then I came to my senses and realized I have a garage for storing donations! I can park in the driveway for a while. Totally worth it!! 😀 I need to take what I can get! It was so sweet of her to think of me and want to help us. Maybe it'll get me out of my indecisive funk. So, I picked up my first load tonight, and then had a moment of panic... Where in my garage is this going to go? Should I put it somewhere else? It has to be tonight, or the items will get wet sitting in his truck (no pressure). 

I decided I needed to chill out, so I sat on my porch swing, took a few breaths, and prayed, and I heard God tell me "it's all OK. Just take the next baby step...just do something. I don't want you to worry, you can always move the stuff later if you need to. You'll figure it all out later." Then, I got up, moved my car, and unloaded the truck in the garage. I did it!! I took the next baby step. A step in the right direction! And I'm ready for more donations!! 

I'm sharing this so you all can learn from my experience... when you feel overwhelmed or anxious about something, you can always pray and be comforted. Just take the next baby step and you'll get there. 😊
