I'm back in the Game!!! - LotusTalk

Charlie Lunsford · 10-07-2009, 12:25 PM

Well everyone I am excited to say that I am as of yesterday back in the high-end/exotic sales game!!! I met with the boys over at Emotion Motorsports yesterday and came to an agreement to join the team!!! I will be handling most all the internet and walk in sales over there. The guys have been great and they have a very nice set up as well as some real nice inventory. I have no doubt we will be successful. And most importantly they are a Christian based and run organization!!! They are more than accomodating to my schedule around church, as you all know by now was the reason I chose to leave Lotus of Austin (John Eagle). I am working right now on obtaining some pre-owned 05-07 yr mdl Elises. We have a lot of cool stuff coming in and as I get up and running these next few days I will keep everyone posted. As for now my contact info will be same if anyone needs to get ahold of me or has any questions

I look forward to getting in touch with everyone and catching up with you all!!!

Awesome! from what I have seen here you are an asset to your trade, and any company should be happy to have you.

Best of luck to you!

Ya it took a deffinate leap of faith, but The Lord is faithful to those that are faithful to Him!!! I stood strong and He has provided

shay2nak · 10-08-2009, 09:41 AM

congratulations!

ZTEC · 10-08-2009, 09:57 AM

always nice to hear good news in this economic climate, Congrats!

I am so happy for you, Charlie. What a blessing this must be for you and your family. It is hard for a man not to work. We were meant to work and provide for our families. And when we cannot, it affects us in many ways that we are reluctant to share with others (mostly due to pride.) It is during these kinds of times of testing that we need to rely on God to provide, which is much easier said than done. God is both good and great and nothing is beyond His power. And He does answer our prayers: He knows the desires of our heart and our needs before we know them, but He still wants to hear our prayers because He wants to know that we are relying on Him for providence and not our own efforts and understanding. Then, when (not if) He does provide, we know to give praise and credit to Him and not ourselves. He has shown me this time and time again, even though the world tries to teach me the opposite by relying only on my own efforts. To those who don't love God, these "acts of providence" may appear to be a coincidence or maybe a miracle. To believers, this is simply God our Father taking care of His children. It is a wonderful testimony to me that Charlie prayed, sought help through this forum and other people, and faithfully waited on God to act. And He answered. May God bless you richly in your new job, Charlie.

Thanks for the kind words John..... It's good to hear from a Christian Brother that not only knows the Word of our Lord but believes and follows as well. He allowed me to go through a period of testing but has brought me out of the desert and in to His place of abundance! The really cool thing in all this is that the guys over here at Emotion are not only followers but they activiely seek to use the dealership as a ministry tool.

May the Lord God Bless you as well John

Seb · 10-09-2009, 08:22 AM

That's awesome! I wish I could stop by, but it would be like one giant tease because I won't be able to afford anything on the floor for at least another 10 years lol.

Charlie Lunsford · 10-09-2009, 08:28 AM

stop by anyway, we got some cool stuff to drool over, thats what I do, haha

Seb · 10-09-2009, 08:30 AM

Charlie,

That's great! Congratulations!

I'm really glad to hear that you are back in the game.

Curious about this comment: "they actively seek to use the dealership as a ministry tool." Does that mean that someone who wants to buy a car gets preached to? Or do you guys use the cool cars to motivate believers?
