This weekend I had the most wonderful opportunity. Thanks to a consultant in need and a returned email, I was able to go as Vendor/Instructor to the Salvation Army Camp in Midlothian. What an amazing place!
When I first got there, I thought I was late, I was rushing, I was stressed, sweaty, you name it! And then I saw the Creative Memories set up and thought, why are you even here? After having approximately 1 weeks notice, I had little "product", and I felt woefully unprepared. But I perservered.
And I am glad I did!
I brought a small snipet of memorabilia from my Great-Grandmother and Grandmother's time in the Salvation Army, and though I didn't have a lot of product, these pictures certainly helped me break the ice with a lot of ladies!
The lesson for this whole weekend was about being blessed. I got to go to a scrapbook event. I taught 2 classes. I made some new friends. My husband took over with the kids and the house so I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was gone. I am blessed in more ways than I can count!
On our last day, I brought Edith with me. After the devotional was read and the altar was opened for anyone who wanted to pray. When Edith asked me what those ladies were doing, I told her that they were praying. When I looked up to see where she had gone, I found her praying too. I almost cried!
Thank you Lord for all the blessings that you have bestowed upon me, and thank you for allowing me to pass those blessings to my children!
