Matthew 7 : 7 & 8 comes true for the Riggan's
As you know we are planning to homeschool in the fall. One big thing we needed was a homeschool space; a desk, some drawers, a wall for posters and a white board, etc. (Yes I plan to be a homeschooler not an unschooler). These items can be quite expensive. I began looking online at places like IKEA, Target, Office Depot, etc. but didn't find anything I really liked. Besides the desks were over $100. So I prayed. Then God reminded me of Matthew 7 : 7 & 8 which reads "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." I put on the Facebook that I was looking for a desk for Katie that was cheep. I got some sassy comments about being a chick desk (get it "cheep, cheep"). But then someone told me about a website for free stuff from people in the Bay Area called freecycle. My friend looked at the site and found a "student desk, wood in Palo Alto". I went to pick it up Tuesday. Not only was this desk free (great price!) but it is perfect. It's the wood color I love and have all through my house. It has the perfect sized writing area for Katie. It has 4 drawers (3 on the side and 1 at the lap). And it fits in my dining room against the wall so perfectly that you'd think I'd planned it. Moral of the story? Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."

for the white boards... don't get it from IKEA. i did two different times, and they never clean off! just a heads up. office depot probably makes better white boards!
ReplyDeleteAnother secret for whiteboards is to make sure they're magnetized because the unmagnetized ones don't erase well.
ReplyDeleteLove the freecycle tip.
God is so faitful--great story--thanks for sharing.
