lemme just start this post by saying, God is sooo good, y’all!
about 2 years ago, i made a rather larger purchase. thinking i’d be much more productive working out at home, i hit the nets and bought a bowflex ultimate 2 home gym. i’m almost embarrassed to say that after making and spending over a week assembling said purchase, i’ve used that damn machine maybe 40 times… and that could be pushing it. anyway, i’m moving (hopefully in the next week)– yes, the time has come for me to vacate bungalow 425 (i’ll explain later)– and i have to get rid of the bowflex because a) i’m not really using it in the first place so there’s no reason to lug it to a new apartment; b) it prolly won’t fit in any new apartment, and c) i really need the money.
i posted a “bowflex for sale” ad on craigslist last week, and almost immediately got an email from an interested party– who later flaked on me only after i’d begun to take the machine apart. needless to say, i was pretty heated. in closing down shop here at bungalow 425, the piece of furniture that has given me the most “what to do with you” grief has been my bowflex. it’s not easy getting selling a 400 pound machine, but like i said, God is good.
the other day, i got an email from another guy who was interested in my machine. he gave me a bit of the runaround for a couple of days, but tonight, he came through to take a look at the bowflex to see if it was working and in good condition. since posting my ad, several others have gone up on craigslist selling the same machine– some for less, others at a higher price– and all the while my potential buyer and his friend were scoping out my bowflex, i prayed that they would bite and buy. and they did!
y’all should have seen me unscrewing bolts, disconnecting cables, and separating pieces at lightening speed… all the while trying to keep from smiling and jumping for joy. it took me about a half an hour to disconnect the major pieces, and then, with superman strength summoned from Lord knows where, we were able to get all the parts downstairs and into their mini-van. I. WAS. STOKED! we were a bit worried that all of it wouldn’t fit into their van, but everything came together in the end. i was handed a NICE chunk of change in cash, and they went on their merry way– leaving me skipping up the stairs repeatedly saying “thank you” to the man upstairs.
i was so worried i would be stuck with that machine, y’all don’t even know. God found a way for me to sell it and get rid of it all in the same night; AND he gave me more money than i was originally going to ask for the machine. i am on cloud 9 right now! i seriously couldn’t be any happier, lol. imma say it again… GOD IS SO GOOD!!
