You know what, guys? I think God blesses us when we are working towards his will and not against it. I worked against it for years wanting to do my own will and never got anywhere!
Homeschooling books that cheaply?? GREAT score!!! I remember how much I paid for mine and it was around the $350 mark. What a wonderful resource to have a warehouse where people take their used homeschooling books! What a great ministry! Wish we had had something like that......
2Dream, I never go to auctions either and for the same reason....I never have extra money and it seems all the good stuff gets snatched up by antique dealers.
But...guess how this transpired? My neighbor from across the mountain called me this morning and told me that she knew I needed a tiller and they had one at this auction.
So, on a whim, truly, and while I was on-call~which usually means I sit right at my house and wait for any calls from patients~I went. Stopped by the office and got the cell (call)phone and,miracles of miracles, got reception at the auction. If you knew how rural we are, you would know just how much of a miracle it is to get cell reception!
I took the very last of the measly money that I had in my account and took my faith with me to the auction. You see, I had put a request for help in finding a tiller in the prayer basket at church. I also have been praying for a sign from God that I should spend a good part of my next paycheck on this cow.
Apparently, God wants me to buy a cow! I still believe he will provide a tiller. ( The so-called good buy I found on-line turned out to be a dud! ) So....still waiting on that tiller I've been praying about! I have
no doubt that God will provide!
Butter churn = a sign that the cow is a good move!
for you. What great finds. Now I am kicking myself for driving by 3 big garage sales and not stopping because I was just to tired. 
great score Bee! You are truly blessed!
All Hail Bee, queen of the auction!!! You did very well, I always end up with stuff I don't need and spend way too much money at auctions. I spent all day giving stuff away and cleaning out my attic. By the time I was done I had missed all the flea markets...
