So after i decided to jump in down here foreal...i thought oh i should cancel my return flight and drive a u-haul down with all my stuff. since i will be moving into the cottage. (i am so blessed)
anyway...i spent one day calling and talking with companies trying to figure out if it was possible, but it was completely out of my price range. so i am letting it go...
at first i was having a hard time with this...see i love to decorate and create a space...in fact i LOVE decorating magazines and secretly kinda wanna be an interior designer (but its not my true calling) so when i like something sometimes and can visually see it in a space...its hard for me to let it go. i get kind of control freak about it...or at least inside my head. everything has its place and it must always return home etc. (if that makes any sense to anyone, but me) i know its ridiculous.
all that to say even though the Lord has blessed me with amazing things, most free, or really really cheap, or a gift...i didn't like the idea of not being able to decorate the cottage without my stuff... to make it home without the things that have been part of my traveling home for a long time...
however after prayer, thinking, and truth from fellow dear friends...i realized that its just stuff...and i never really have been that materialistic of a girl so why was i trippin... the real kicker was i felt like God said 'i provided all those things before, why would you think i wouldnt do it again...' i was humbled.
then so divinely planned my things have a place to go. so wonderful is the works of my Father in heaven. the last weekend i am home on my visit to Kansas city a neighborhood garage sale is happening for someone i know...and i can put my stuff in it!!! how great is that!
so i have much peace and am starting to get very excited about what gifts the Lord has for me to make the lil cottage really feel like home. to decorate it with new things to me. i definitely trust that there will be as the market place has a thrift store aka the cool stuff store!
so here i go hunting for treasures from the Lord....
