She has always been very giving and forgiving. God truly has blessed her in so many big and little ways. He has done the same for me. The giving of our money, ourselves, and our possessions truly is such a great expression of our faith. Our faith grows as we exercise it. Keep up the great work and do not grow weary in well doing. Love you and am so proud of who you are in Christ.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872680441486503409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389073715517542581.post-88632054944740352612011-05-15T12:17:45.436-06:002011-05-15T12:17:45.436-06:00Very insightful. It is difficult to give, but wha...Very insightful. It is difficult to give, but what I'm learning is that I want to be someone who can be counted on to "pitch in" and not be negative about sharing.<br /><br />That being said...I struggle with this too. Knowing that I make ends meet month to month, how can I be expected to give to this or that? But that is not what God wants from me, and (not) surprisingly all my fears about not paying bills etc. are all worked out. Just as HE promised, right?<br /><br />Love you & thanks for your posts. Your honesty and open-ness are remarkable. I look forward to reading posts 201-401 :0).Kristan L.

Luke 16:10<br /><br />I think your couponing and stock-piling are your way of being trusted with little. You have taken your talents and made money for your family through household goods.<br /><br />When I start to feel like you are feeling, I try to remind myself that God has NEVER forsaken me. He has always provided for me and taken care of me, beyond my wildest imagination. Don't limit His power. Continue to trust Him and you will not have any regrets.<br /><br />(You can always move in with your aunt in Washington. Her house is big enough for all of you :)<br /><br />p.s. Saw this is your 200th post? I never remember to look, so I don't pay attention to the # I'm at so I can make it monumental. I think I'm at 216. Maybe I can have a momentous 300th post :) lolRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17364750069022113897noreply@blogger.com
