>> Hi to all,
>> When the last meeting was held to discuss continued remodeling of my work
>> location we had a discussion about how bad my 3 snack machines looked.
>> Someone made a comment that we needed to put contac paper on the bottom
>> half on the front of the doors to cover up the millions of kick marks put
>> there by state employees over the years! After all the state is spending
>> money to remodel this location and it must match the decor! I stated
>> that these machines are old and antiquated and they didn't work very
>> well.
>> Another individual spoke up and said yes we have contac paper at the
>> office and you can have your choice, black or chrome colored contac
>> paper. Virgie which would you like?
>> I said I want new machines, these things don't work and they need to be
>> replaced because they do not work well!
>> Another person from the office spoke up and said "Let's move on to plan
>> B, which do you wan"?
>> I restated my case and said I want new machines!
>> The same person said to me "You can't have new machines so which color
>> contac paper do you want on your machines"?
>> I simply said, I want new machines, you know these machines are old,
>> probably 30 years old or at the very least, they must be 20 years old.
>> Again I was told you can't have new machines, there is no money for them,
>> we have spent all the money we can spend on your location. So they
>> collectively decided that black is the color of choice because it should
>> match the new decor! Like I said, a little rain!
>>
>> I think it was 3 days later I get a phone call and was asked would you be
>> willing to take some newer old used snack machines? I stated again that
>> I needed new ones because those old machines didn't work properly and
>> they looked tacky. I was assured that these machines worked better and
>> they looked much better as well. I agreedd to take them because I knew
>> it was the best I could do! My negotiation skills were lacking but of
>> course this was the best I could do!
>>
>> Now on to the bright sunshine that has been filling up my life lately.
>>
>> A couple of days later I get another phone call from the office! I was
>> asked how things are going with the remodeling and was everything okay?
>> I said we were making progress and other than needing new machines
>> everything was progressing nicely!
>>
>> This person told me they had 2 more new snack machines and if I was
>> willing to trade those 3 old snack machines in for 2 new ones I could
>> have them! You know I agreed to give them the junky machines for the 2
>> new ones! I could not believe what I was hearing!
>>
>> A lot of sunshine coming into my life and every bit of it is from our
>> Lord Jesus Christ! God's miracle worker, the state worker is the human
>> facilitator but the real power is our awesome God! I have all new
>> machines sitting in my snack bar and it is looking beautiful! It is all
>> done except we have 15 pictures with West Virginia sceens coming to
>> decorate the walls and a new pop corn vending machine and can you believe
>> it? I am also getting an ice cream machine! . Praise the Lord and
>> thank you Lord Jesus for your many wonderful blessings for my business!
>>
>> The brightest rae of sunshine filling my life is the inner peace and
>> contentment I feelinside! I am truly blessed and I am bubbling over with
>> joy!
>>
>> Miracles do still happen every day and I know there are many more to come
>> for all of us! I am grateful for the material things for my business but
>> the most precious of all is the wonderful joy and peace I feel inside!
>> I am truly blessed!
