I woke up to white fluffy grass, my
Father In Law is lucky this didn't happen in March (The
Hostetlers always brag on their B-day Month), that was a few
hours ago, it's likely all gone by now.
The
Lord has been impressing Ps. 91 on our church. A few weeks
ago our Pastor had us all read it aloud, made just a few comments,
and proceeded with his message on a clear different topic. The
next Sunday, the Co-Pastor (he had been gone on
vacation) got up and read Ps. 91. The Lord seemed to
be drawing our attention to this passage. We're now *trying* (I
struggle with remembering to get up in the morning) to memorize it as a
family. It is full of encouraging words as well as some wonderful
promises.
Now a bit about me........................
We sent our two oldest to a private school for a few years, at that
time I was unwilling to summit to my DH's wishes and HS them. While
praying for a home business or side job to help out financially,
the Lord spoke quietly to my heart *if you would HS you'd be saving big
$$ youre spending on tuition* aw shucks, that is not exactly what I
had in mind Lord! The field of my heart had been cultivated, and the
ground was ready, and I said YES!
Just
shortly after I started HSing, my parents upgraded their
computer and gave us their old one. I soon discovered ~*eBay*~ and
decided to try my hand at finding some old books my sis-in-law had been
wanting. Wow! I found them & much more, after getting her a
set, there were others that wanted this book and that
one...................
All at once I found myself, with a
growing book search service, mainly to our Amish &
Conservative Mennonite Community, since they do not have computers or
internet access, yet many of them spend allot of time reading
(guess we all would if we didn't indulge in modern forms of
entertainment) I was in high demand, and news of my business spread
fast. I started seeing a pattern in the types of books they were
requesting, and began to build an inventory. I now have at least 4000
books in my basement, with a mailing list of 350 people from all over
the USA. I send out a pricelist every 3-4 months, and never lack for orders.
I still stand amazed..... When I submitted to HSing, the Lord
granted the desires of my heart, and in a much greater way then I ever
could have imagined! There are allot of people out their selling books,
but he gave me my own little niche, so don't worry about me, crowding
in on your bookselling turf {{Big Grin}}

I am always amazed at how the Lord provides and takes care of us when we obey Him. Your book buisness sounds wonderful and blessed be the Lord how He started it for you.
