The Girls Are Home!!

We praise the Lord for the safe return of our daughters. They
have been off ministering to a new mom and her family. It is
so good to have everyone under one roof again!! Thanks to "that"
family for taking such good care of them while they were away.
Thanks to the Lord for their safety.

We love you girls and are soooo glad to have you home!!!

God's Awesome Provision!!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
Just a short testimony...a couple of weeks ago I was
invited to a "couponing class" put on by Anita, Celicia
and Alexis Huron. (They are the 3 oldest girls in a family
of 15 children!!) I really wanted to go...the thought of
saving money sounded really good...so I decided to go.
WOWWWWWWWWW...AM I GLAD I DID!!!!
These girls did such an awesome job sharing what God is doing
in their family in the area of using coupons to save their
family money on their grocery bill. They shared how that in
the last year they saved $8,000.00 at one store alone!!!
Okay...they really had my attention now!!!!
Okay...it sounded good...so let's give it a try and see what
I can do...
Another short note...when I left that morning, I had left my
cellphone at home...I don't go anywhere without my cellphone...
God wanted me to leave that phone home. On my way home from
the class I was about ready to bust!!! I had no one to talk to
and NO CELL PHONE!!!! All of a sudden in the quiet of my
15 passenger van a sweet voice whispered in my ear...

"Tracy, if you will be faithful in the little things I will be
faithful in much!!!"

WOW!!! What do you say to the Lord when He whispers that in your
ear??!! Okay, Lord...I will give it a try.

After two weeks of "couponing" I am so excited that I am SHOUTING
IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!! If you aren't already shopping this way
and are interested, let me know and I will help you get started.
If fact, they did a filming of the class and when it comes available
I will post it for those who are interested.

Today...Jan. 27th, I went grocery shopping. I went to CVS, Walgreens
and Publix. I sent 84.00 and brought home 247.00 worth of products!!!
WAHOOOOOOO!!!!! At Publix I got 16 boxes of cereal for 4.00!!!!!
I have taken pictures and they will follow this post.

My husband is so excited!!! We are buying namebrand products for a
fraction of the price and stocking our cabinets in such an abundance!!!
As of today...just 2 weeks worth of shopping...we have enough shampoo,
toothpaste, razors, cleaning products and hair detangler to get us thru
until the end of the year!!! My hubby became a believer when he bought
a 2.79 tube of toothpaste for .49 the other day!!!

My prayer is that I have shared this testimony and that someone will be
encouraged and changed by it. God is such an awesome provider!!!

MANY, MANY thanks and much love to the Huron girls for their obedience
to God's prompting in having this class. This is one momma who will be
forever indebted to them!!!! (in a good way!!!:))

Til later...
Tracy

Ben's Special Day!!

For a belated Christmas present, Ben requested a
day off with Mom and Dad to do something special.
He chose to go to the Super Bowl Experience at
Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It was a nice time.
It did also help us to realize how and what our true
focus in life needs to be. It is okay to have
"hobbies"...things we enjoy doing, but our true focus
needs to be loving the Lord Jesus Christ with all our
hearts and loving others thru Him.

Ben and his Dad!!

 

GO, MOM, GO!!!!
