This day has not started out to be the best. I’m hoping that it will get better. One thing that I notice is that when financially you are as tight as we are, it doesn’t take much to push you “over the edge”. I should have checked, I know I should have checked, but I took for granted that Paul’s…

Reducing Expenses
The beginning of this year, I really began to pray and ask the Lord to show me areas of my home where I needed to spend time making sure that we were making the most of what we had. My grocery budget was the first thing He placed on my heart. Over time, I began to eliminate things I had…
