Saturday, April 5th, we had our 10th grade yard sale. We brought the camper and set it up acrossed the street from the sale. LOTS of people looked at it and many were interested, but all walked away. Two ladies really took an interest, even calling their husbands to come look. The ladies left saying their husbands would be back in 30 minutes. Well, an hour passed and I thought they weren't coming back, when they pulled up, wives and husbands. Turns out it's a mother, father, son and his wife. They look at it and sit inside for about 20 minutes. I popped in a couple of times to answer questions. They finally walk down the to think it over. The son comes back pretty quickly and offers me $2000. We were asking $3500 OBO. I said no, that we couldn't take $2000, but as he walked away I said I would take $2500. He said they would think about it. At that point I just had to have faith that God would have the right person come buy it. A little later, the guy drives by with his wife and has one of the kids come get me. I walk over to the car and he tells me that they are from out of town and are leaving Sunday and if I really want to sell it he will give me $2000. I said no, $2500 and for him to let me know. He said OK and I turned to walk away when he said $2200? I said no, $2500. They drove away and I went back to the yard sale, a little bummed. I was talking to some people at the sale asking if they wanted to buy the pool table and the man kept walking. His wife spoke to him in Spanish and he stopped and came back. I was having fun with him saying that he was ignoring me and all. He got real apologetic and said he really wasn't and was just thinking about other things. Then he asked me if we had prayed. I told him that I had in my mind. He says no, you have to pray outloud in Jesus's name and he prayed right then for the camper to sell and then turned around and looked at the pool table and prayed for it to sell!!!! He said that's what you have to do and they went on to the next garage sale. So I got to thinking about it and I was going to go over to the camper and pray outloud myself, but I also felt that we should pray as a group. So I went back into the garage and we all were there, nine of us, and I prayed. I thanked God for the beautiful weather, everything that already sold, and asked Him to send the people to buy the camper and all the other things we had for sale. Not 5 minutes later, I get a phone call. The lady asks if I'm Lynn and do I still have the camper for sale. I said, yes. She told me her son wants to talk to me. He get son the phone and asks me to run a cord over there, turn on the ac, and he is headed over with a $2500 check. I walked back into the garage and told everyone and we all screamed. Then one mom starts looking for the couple that prayed for it to sell and they are just now walking back to their car from the other yard sale. I walk up to them and tell them what has happened. The man says see I told you. I thanked them again and went to get the ac hooked up. We had a cord but no adapter to hook the camper cord to the power cord. I knew a friend had one in their garage so I went to get theirs, but realized that I had no van keys. I had one of the boys drive me to my friend's house. The people arrived right before we got back. M and C pulled up right before we did. We hooked it up and the ac worked fine. We filled out all the paperwork and took a check. I will meet the mom at the bank tomorrow at 1 PM to exchange cash for the title!
God sold this camper!
God showed Himself so big to us that very day!
God is so good!
Thank you, God!!!
