I love the Lord with all that is within me, Bless His Holy Name. The Lord is so good to us and yet we are undeserving of His love. This week was very hectic but a lot of things were accomplished. I still have a lot to do tomorrow. A few of the items on my list are, order Angel Food Box, laundry, clean the house or at least straighten it, wash the van and finish sorting through boxes of items for garage sale next week. I have a lot of things to put on the garage sale and have not started pricing yet. I am having garage sale on Tues. and Wed. When I started going through my cupboards and closets I found a lot of things that we either don't need or simply can do without. I hope to get enough money to pay off part if not all of the bill at the garage where I had my van fixed. In order to pay all of it I need about $1000. I doubt I will have enough but would be nice to have at least $500. I have several items for $50 - $100 so I am praying that those items can sell. If you think about in the next few days, pray that God could send buyers for these items and also for the smaller items. I believe God can do great things. I have learned through some of our financial struggles that God really can answer our prayers and provide in ways we thought nearly impossible. I have learned to say no to that yummy donut or snack when I am paying for my gas. I am also trying to teach our daughters, mostly the 4 yr old for now, that sometimes we have to do without some things that we would like because we don't have the money. Sometimes if she asks for something she first asks if we have enough money, then can we get it? I hope this will help her later in life how to spend her money wisely. I also know that she learns a lot from watching my husband & I in our spending habits. There are times I will get her a little treat but she also knows not to cry or fuss if she doesn't get one. I am very proud of how she has grown up in this area in the last few months.
For now I think it would be best if I would get some sleep so I can get my things done. I will try too find the time to check in tomorrow and let you know how my list is going.
