My Husband And I Have Been Looking For a Good Bed to Buy, But with My husband being a little on the ADHD side he tends to throw in All his Energy in a project if You know what i Mean!
We have been going to Bed Shops,Lying on Mattresses,Asking the right Questions And Gained so much info that i felt like a bed sales person!
We have Gone To Shop A, and Although We had a Substantial amount in cash to buy the bed, we looked at doing it on a RCS card, But we made a mistake on the application and instead of putting on our income as after deductions instead of before deductions we did not qualify for the desired amount..Long Story Short the Sales Person At Shop A Lost his spark and enthusiasm and thought of us now as only bedstrokers and not serious buyers.
My Husband Decided to Go To shop B, Same Company just a different Branch.
When We walked in There was just such a different atmosphere, we looked at the same bed as shop A got some more info and then walked out, as we left my Husband said he kinda feels double minded, somtehing told him to buy the mattress but he felt bad for the Guy at shop A as he did all the work in helping us to decide which bed we needed..I told my Husband that we should go to surfer's Corner in Muizenberg ( our Favourite Beach), and that we should just ask God where He wants us to sow the money...SO with that a couple of minutes later we drove back to Tokai.On our way there, I told My Husband that he needs to tell this woman why we came back, he hesitated and i told him that This Woman NEEDS to Hear it, We stopped at shop B, my husband went in first while i locked the car etc. as i walked up the stairs this woman is in tears, She is now sobbing and really tried to stay calm and collected, but it was just too hard for her, she said she wanted to tell us what happened to her the previous day, but that she is scared that she will just cry so much that she won't be able to stop.My Husband asked her if she could please tell us, because we felt that this was going to make for a Amazing Testimony..
This Was her Story:
The Day Before, she walked to the station to go home, she stays in Parow North, and when they got to the station there was no Electricity and they had to Walk to Retreat Station, By the time they got there, there was also no Electricity and they had to take a bus to the next station, She Had absolutely no Money on her and she really stressed about how she was going to get home, a Woman stopped her out of the blue and gave her money for the bus to the next station, When she eventually got to Cape Town Station the trains to Parow North has already stopped and she was stranded at 20:30 at night a woman in her 50's alone,and no money, she cried as she called her son to drive all the way to cape town station to pick her up, This all happened on the 14th, She had to make a Sale Of at Least R10000 for payday on the 15th, and what are the odds?
She cried and she was really in a state where she just felt like no one Hears her Prayers, but she prayed anyways..The Next day 15th We got the Word From God that we had to make our purchase with her Cash..Our Mattress,with Mattress Protector and 2 memory foam Pillows as well as a bed wrap came to an amount of over R15 000, we only had R14 000, but this shop had a pop a balloon special, we popped the balloon and got 5% discount, as we rejoiced in this the store manager came from the other side of the shop unaware of what was happening and told us that he felt in his heart that we should get a 10% discount and a free delivery! My husband and i sat there and we immediately asked each other but is this not going to affect her commission, and the guy turned around without hearing our conversation and said don't worry we don't get Penalised on the Discounts!!!
This Was Absolutely amazing!! Our bed ,Base and all the accessories came to an amount of R13051.00!
We Got Blessed Doubled! As well as the Woman as she got commision on the total sale and not on the discounted sale, and you could feel God Working in the room!
The Woman Made Her sale on the 15th, we got all the extras we wanted for a lot less than we would have paid..
It really was so humbling,amazing and awesome to be blessed like that and to have had the privilege of being used by God to change peoples and our own lives!
We will all share this experience that God Has Blessed us with and realised that Faith is Vital in our relationship with God.
Always Remember that even when at times you feel only despair,sadness,hopelessness and feel like No One Hears Your Prayers, God Hears Them And send the Answer at just the right time for us to be in awe of his grace, Goodness, And eternal Furious Love For us!
We serve an Awesome God!!
