  • We have new tires on our excursion.  *that* wasn't cheap.  Fortunately Rob has been saving for them, so it wasn't a terrible shock to our system...but man I can think of at least one other place for those to go.

    I'm really struggling with coming up with the money for baton and for Christmas.

    The lessons I can do.  But the other things like shoes etc is just urking me at the moment.  This too shall pass I know. 

    I have little pieces of paper all over my living room cause I never made the kids clean up there craft projects yesterday.  They aren't going to be impressed when after breakfast that's my first priority. 

    Rob is doing several overtimes to help make up some of the deffecit in this house.  I worry about him for that, but am not really sure what we can about it, except stop baton.  But we both agree at this point that's not an option.

    The Bible says "Do not worry about tomorrow,

                            Be anxious for nothing."

    So today my goal is to focus on that, and obey God's command that he *is* the blessed controller of all things.

  • Things are tight raising a family with only one parent employed for money.  We did it too and had foster children that usually made us a family of 6 or more.  Not much help from agencies back then either.  Something under 60$ a month here in MO.  Hang in there.....you will be surprised at how quickly they grow and are gone.  

  • Hang in there, the Lord doesn't give us any more than we can bear.  The joy comes from your children and the love they give.

  • I love the new look of your site.

    I hate unexpected expenses!

  • Hello Ms. Tonia,
    You made your site simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. You may be surprised to know that the early Christians did not celebrate Christmas because they considered the custom to be a pagan one in honor of the god Saturn. It still is today!
    I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. The Bible has an important message for us: "They've made a career of opposing God, and have gotten mighty good at it. But God is fed up, ready to put an end to it." (1Thessalonians 2:16) (MSG)
