Thursday Blessing...

So, I'm a little late this week. So much going on. Just started a class called Financial Peace University. I am loving it so far! Can't wait to follow a budget and spend only cash. Did you know that you will spend 12 - 18% less if you use cash instead of plastic (including debit cards)? That's amazing to me. The kids and I are in the habit of eating whenever we want/wherever we want instead of waiting until we get home...so, I'm going to plan ahead better and have food in the car or ready to eat when we get home. I've done it all week and it has really, really helped!!

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19).

Hope is what I need and what I am praying for God to reveal to me...can hope be revealed or is it something I should have? Or is it those little successes that build hope? My biggest success was that I spent a whoppin' $50 on groceries this week! That has to be a record low. We got drinks at sonic on Wednesday for only $2.79 for three drinks!! Got to love happy hour! and it was a treat instead of a habit.

At at time when my life is falling apart...I feel most at ease. Like a burden has been lifted. In that, I do have hope.

Lord, I pray that You continue to reveal Yourself to me in the little things. I pray that by getting myself back together, I may better serve You and be the person You created me to be. I pray that you help me be a better wife and mother. Help me to be honest with myself and others about my true feelings. Give me the strength to face my emotions head on.
Thank you Lord for loving me.
