Wow I cannot believe I am in the home strectch. Only 5 days to go. We are running out on things at this point but God provides and Him timing is perfect. We were so blessed to be given a free room in NYC tomorrow so we can celebrate Christian's 40th birthday the right way. So we will budget and be super mindful of where we go, eat and do. I cannot justify turning down a room that would normally be $450! We will practice what the Lord has been teaching us this last month and half. To be mindful and purposeful with our spending. But it also is a blessing because it gets us out of the house one dinner so between Tuesday being away and eating at my sister's Saturday, I realize we just have to get through today, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. My freezer is empty except for some frozen vegetables and the pantry is getting bleak too. But God did it and I have some recipe ideas in the back of my head so we will do it. I am in awe at how effortless this was. The Lord provided 40 dinners these last 40 days and He even did it without breaking a sweat:) And C learned to eat chicken thighs and eat leftovers and I learned to make do with what I had. It really was an exercise others should try. It really made us so keenly aware of every dime spent and we always ask is this necessary? I thank the Lord everyday for delivering C from smoking. He is smoke free and never experienced one second of discomfort or withdrawal. The Lord is an amazing healer! Through this miracle Christian chose life! and if only you knew the money we will save.....crazy. But I am happy and it is another sunny day. Ready to work, swim and rest. Happy Monday!
DINNER SERVED: Leftovers from Sunday. We have fried baken chicken and smashed potates.
Psalm 145:8
