Answer To Prayer!!

For awhile we have been suffering from obnoxious smells coming from a Nail Spa next to our store.
We have been asking the people were renting from if they can do something about it. They refused
for while. We prayed.....and waited.....and prayed....and waited some more and this went on for about 2-4 weeks. Tonight we just got an email from the lady, Trisha Bangs, that they are giving us free rent for February!!
We are praising God for that and thanking Him for His love and mercy on us.

Update

As of today, we are out of Hauwei Ascends and are going to order some accessories Lord Willing.
I just look at my Dad and thank God for him. He is such a blessing. When I am tired of being up front ot wanting a customer to go away because he/she is rude, bad language, but Dad is such a stone wall and so firm I just admire him. Lord help me to be strong in your word and stand against the wiles of the Devil.
Amen

Yours sincerely,

Store Update

So its been pretty busy around here!!

Last week we ordered a shipment of phones which because of the snow storm were delayed, but came in yesterday (02/10/11). We had been out of Hauwei Ascends (our most popular phone, pic below or here), and had ordered three, but sold out today! So dad is putting in another order for eight. We also got our business cards and accessories yesterday and are praising the Lord for His goodness with us.

Huawei Ascend:

Look forward to seeing everybody l8r!!

Yours!

God is SO good!

WOW!! sorry all you who actually read my blog (if there are any) for not updating sooner! I've been CRAZY busy here at the new store! But a good sort of busy.

Today God gave us a very good day with a bunch of activations and bill pays and we even stayed open two hours late (having just closed five minutes ago and a car just pulled up to come in, but were closed, and that's final...lol) 


God is SO good and I pray that he will help me, and us as His people to see that more clearly and praise him for his mighty acts and his excellent greatness.

Yours truly, 'til next time!

Blessing From the Lord!

Yesterday, Mr. Burroughs, my Dad and I were sitting in the new store doing some computer things, and we were talking about how it will be great when the phones come in. Well, two minutes later, a BIG FedEx truck pulled up right in front...and they were our phones!


Huzzah! Lord Willing our Accessories will be coming in soon as well!

Praise God for his Kindness and Steadfast Love.

Yours

Store Update

So, God has really been good to us as we are working hard towards opening the store here in Raleigh.

Here is a list in bullet points on what we have so far.

• Building is rented;

• Walls are painted;

• Sales desks are set up;

• Point of sale computers are now in place and operational;

• Displays are up for phones and information;

• Phone inventory is ordered and on the way;

• Phone accessories will Lord Willing be ordered today (18th)

• Exterior sign is up and will Lord Willing be lighted soon.

• TIO accounts are being set up to do bill payments etc.

And I think that is all for now!

Praise God for His Amazing Grace to us and how he is working in my life, and in the lives of my Dad and Mr. Burroughs to bring this together.

Oh, I thought of another one which is really important to me, since it is my project.

• The website is almost setup. The place filler, you can visit here and the actual website which is working, just not completely setup is here: http://www.advance-wireless.com

Dios es Bueno!

Huzzah! A New Year!

As a new year approaches, filled with reflections of the past year and ideas for the new, I wanted to share with you this beautiful hymn from John Newton.

While with ceaseless course the sun

Hasted through the former year

Many souls their race have run

Never more to meet us here:

Fixed in an eternal state

They have done with all below

We a little longer wait,

But how little none can know.

As the winged arrow flies 

Speedily the mark to find,

As the lightning from the skies

Darts and leaves no trace behind,

Swiftly thus our fleeting days

Bear us down life's rapid stream;

Upward, Lord, our spirits raise,

All below is but a dream.

Thanks for mercies past receive;

Pardon of our sins renew;

Teach us henceforth how to live

With eternity in view;

Bless thy Word to young and old;

Fill us with a Saviour's love;

And when life's short tale is told,

May we dwell with thee above.

by John Newton, 1774
