One Day last month I came home like any other day to check my fb messages and to my surprise a customer i new that wanted me 2 make her three small t shirt quilts from her mothers shirts, asked me on my page if i wanted a piano!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked her if she wanted anything in return she said no her mother doesn't play & no one does and she wants some one who will love it and play! & yes my friends my fiance' mom teaches me and i can play and learning more <3
I love music. SO I HAD few weeks to plan all this out and to have helpers and a truck and have everyone in on the same plan knowing I had no idea how heavy this piano was and they were all asking me!!! So I was getting quite nervous.
=(
I prayed about it as often as i thought about it and God gave me the men i should ask for to help. so i did and to my surprise they hesitated and said yes i was forever so grateful, not knowing really how far my friend lived that was the stress part i believe on my helpers & I.
so Bob my Sunday school teacher drove there to the owners house Bill with the truck met me at 7-11 close his fabric quilts hop they own. & I was waiting for the other two guys!!!!! I was quite stressed I called them too see if there on there way one said we have to get lunch at Wendy's well that was 1:00 they finally arrived at 1:45
I was so nervous I really felt like I needed to be there at right at the ladies home when Bil & Bob arrived there first. so we ended up arriving there 30 min late after the fact we should be meeting Bill /Bob at the same time. i was so frustrated at the other two taking there time coming to get me, grrrrrrrrr. so
on top of that the traffic was bad lol. just what we needed,
so the two guy friends i rode with we had a pleasant drive talk but it was so tense for me allot of stop and go. so i text the owner of the piano she said the two men were already hear and loaded it up already and headed back to the quilt shop to wait for me & i finally got hold of them said were on our way and i was trying to remember the correct address and accidentally told them the wrong one !!! thank goodness they didn't start driving off that way i could tell they were worn out too and frustrated.
so to my point of rambling on about this story
is that God was teaching me to be still and wait, omy that is so hard for me to do when u are dealing with others schedules when there helping u out. i was screaming inside heart racing inside. i told my guy friends wow i really thought they needed two more to help they managed maybe they really did i thought to my self. but God was telling me in my heart "Carrie I gave u this piano i will prepare the way make this all work out fine."
yes I said God gave me this gift because he gave it to me through a friend that I have done very well in her t shirt quilts for her in the past.
Im not saying God blesses us that easily or quickly its all in his perfect time. In lots of ways i was really relaxed to hear that Bill & Bob got the piano on to the truck and were already driving back.
You may think were was Rob in all this!!!!
Rob did come home into town and felt fine until all day Sun he even missed church and slept the day until his fever broke! and praise God it did i prayed and prayed that he wouldn't feel that bad driving 710 miles away with that fever and chills. poor guy he really wanted to help the piano move i couldn't bear to wake him up and rush him out the door for that.
The piano is now safely moved in my mother in laws piano studio at a church. it looks so good i can't wait to practice on that piano !
Thank u men each of u God put your names on my heart to ask u I was scared of planning this but tank u for being there for me!!!!! even if it went into most of the football game on tv i'm sorry guys but thank u from the bottom of my heart so great full!!!!!!!!
they fit side by side!!! perfectly!
