The Lord continues to provide

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Phil 4:19). I love this verse and I am continually reminded that the Lord does provide our every NEED!  He knows the desires of my heart and hears my fears and my anxieties and rescues me. 

Those that have been with me from the beginning of my journey know that I have been more aware of how we spend our money as a family and awhile back I was able to save our family $600 a year by calling our Assessor's office and they decreased the value of our home by $65,000.  Well, I just received "corrected bill" and the value of our home has been decreased by another $65,000 which means that we have saved another $650 a year!!  That's approximately $104 a month off our mortgage payment!  Our God is GREAT and provides our every need!!

I must say that I love Pinterest.  A place to share ideas on crafts, DIY ideas, recipes, fashion, tattoos, etc.  You name, they got it!  In the spirit of re-purposing our consumables, I have found several great ways to re-purpose your old clothing....or even clothing that is boring.  Stay tuned....I have several ideas I want to try....need to go and hit up the thrift stores.


And since we are on the subject of clothes......it's that time of the year.  Time to switch out the summer clothes for the sweaters and scarves.  I have a hard time (sometimes!) getting rid of my clothes...."I might some day want to wear it or need it for a photo shoot or costume."  So I found this idea and I have implemented this into my closet.  When it's time to switch my closet out for flip flops and tanks, I will simply re-purpose or thrift store all the items that are still on the backwards hangers.
