Sept/Oct. 2010: So many little things God does regularly to remind me that HE is still in charge and I shouldn't worry about money.....
September:
1) Needed ink cartridge refill - cost $13 - took it to Walgreens and when I came to pick it up they said I owed them nothing because it didn't pass the print test. When I brought it home and tried it (like they suggested I do) it worked perfectly!
2) free new cell phones b/c AT&T bought out Alltel!
3) free getaway to go to the Youth Pastor's Conference in Birmingham - church paid for two nights in a hotel and mileage, which worked out marvelously! We had a great time!
4) Mom!! She unexpectedly gave us $1000 to use however we pleased, (which paid off the money we owed on taxes this year), bought us over $100 worth of groceries TWICE, and bought me new shirts to accomodate this changed figure!
5) we wanted a travel swing for Anna Claire because she loves hers so much, but they are about $75 or so. I found one on craigslist for $35, but when I called about it, it turned out to belong to a previous client of pat's (Kerry Egana) and they were so sweet and GAVE it to us!
6) mom got a jogging stroller, another dream item of ours, from a yard sale for $20! Brand new!
October 2010:
1) Got free getaway overnight to Lawrenceville, GA (for Emily's back surgery) and church paid for Longhorn, two other small meals, hotel and two tanks of gas! Then we were able to have a quick jaunt to Chattanooga to see the fam with very little added expense!
2) Been paying $90 a month for internet and phone ONLY, and then we became aware of a new bundle that Knology was offering that was Internet, phone AND digital cable (basic plus digital premium) for THE SAME PRICE!
and so many more reminders! Thank you, Lord!
