Anytime We Accept Less Than God's Best We Are Choosing to Be In A Prison of One's Own Making

In every situation regardless in business or our personal lives, we can accept the bondage of what other's press upon us that may be good for them to unload...but not in our best interest.

A true friend is one who not only seeks what is best for him or herself;f, but seeks what is pure, kind, generous for their friend as well.

The Carpenters Friend has been seeking for a very long time, ever since we received our non-profit status to implement Carpentry Vocational programs in male jails and prisons our country wide...

Not every dealer or salesman cares whether what they fanagle you to sign will meet your needs without confining one into a bondage that not only they may not be able to financially pay for...but does not even care that it has only one tiny window...that HIS light has nothing through which to shine!

I even said to our sales person who is an ordained permanent deacon....who I will not name him or the very large dealer he is employed at...

I said to him calling him by name as God calls each by name: ________  God's Holy Word would not
 say: ' "I WILL TURN YOUR DARKNESS TO LIGHT!" if there was not something about darkness...absence of light that would harm even kill us.'

The man did not even open the one and only small one foot by one foot square window.

But instead walking back through their main building as we were leaving....he had a sales manager trap us in and tried to close the sale on this dark very expensive trailer...over $22,000 while some smaller used motor homes with low miles cost only 2-3 thousand more.

Many have been thinking that I am greedy not accepting a trailer and pushing for a motor home.

But I am smart enough to know that a trailer which has no motor nor transmission need not cost so close to that which does.

I have been holding out waiting upon our dear Lord to show us HIS better one...each of us can choose HIS very best in every situation.

I thank God for the strength to endure the criticism of many...who some have not taken the time to see the entire picture, but have drawn conclusions....but we very soon will no longer be tenting in parks....but in time for our 15th Wedding Anniversary on May 30, 2012...barely a week....

Be using our tent as an extra screen room...and enjoying a bright light new trailer with many windows.

It has been promised to us by a very small dealer which we will have to travel a bit to...we go this afternoon... that he can finance it for us and he will himself install break controller, hitch, licenses...everything required and make it affordable for us.... only $250.00 a month.

So all of you who are reading I plead to you....never accept less than God's best regardless whose apple cart you upset.

Had I been silent as I had been instructed to be, I too would "Living in a Prison of My Own Making" today!

And so we will have the right equipment soon and very soon to travel in comfort, safety, and within HIS peace which surpasses all understanding as HE uses my husband William, The Carpenters Friend, to teach the prison inmates of non-violent crimes who have unfortunately not had proper guidance...

He will implement programs that these who can benefit from The Second Chance Act, for they are teachable just need someone to take the time & interest in them personally to present and show them in ways they can understand things that they can do, and excel and bless their communities with.

So right now you can make a difference...by contacting either of these bankers and making a Tax Deductible Donation towards what is required to get these programs implemented and inmates graduating with marketable skills and working in construction positions which we teamed with the Labor Department who will certify them.By your Donations you will be a major part in helping others not confine themselves in a Prison of Their Own Making!
