Hickam Craft Fair!!

OK, I am beat but I am so psyched that I had to write this real quick before I go to totally veg out.  Today was the Hickam Craft Fair and I was signed up and totaly looking forward to it.  Sat 9-3.  But Friday night it was pouring..  It was still pouring when I went to bed a little after midnight too!  I woke up at around 5:30am to the sound of heavy rain...  Still?  Seriously?  I peeked out the window and it was soaked and getting soakererered.  Crap! 
 Will the Craft fair even happen?  SO, I laid in bed and made a deal with God.  If he could give us a rain-free day I would donate 5% of my sales to a cause I had in mind.  If I went over a higher amount I would give 10% to this cause.  I made coffee and got ready and by 6:30am it had stopped raining...  No kidding...  It was hot and humid all day but no rain and sales were GREAT!  I knew he heard me!  At 3pm when the show ended and we were all packing up it started pouring again!  Like a timer went off when the show ended!   
I totaled up sales and I am happy to say that I have a hefty check to offer a family that wants to take their sick child to Disney World.  I think the best part of the day was knowing I am able to give more than double what I originally expected.  I am really  thankful that the rain stopped and I am really blown away that I really think GOD was listening!
Thank you everyone who helped me reach a great goal today, my customers are the best.  NO one knew what my goal was today.  Just me and God.  Thanks God!
