World Market

yesterday was the World Market - where i went to sell shirts/bags for water4christmas!

it went well.
didn't sell quite as many shirts as i was hoping.
but it's probably going to end up being the perfect amount so i don't lose my mind.

rebekah came with me.
just her and i together for 8 hours.
it was so nice!
she was amazing.
so helpful.
so confident.
never ONCE complained or said anything negative.

even when we were at Target AND Walmart AFTER the sale DURING December {6 hours into our day} returning the shirts we didn't need...in LONG lines with TIRED, hungry bodies. she still didn't complain. made me keep my mouth shut! {i admit...my heart was complaining a little bit...}

lots of people took the literature and asked questions...i love that the awareness is getting out there!

i hope to have a total mid-late week this week of how much these shirts/bags have made in total!

I can't help but focus on the impact this is having on Rebecca right now.
So, you didn't sell the amount of t-shirts you were dreaming of....but are you creating a KINGDOM changer just by being there?

a few t-shirts now = a world traveler/advocate/missionary/innovator later.
