I am very happy.

From not buying so much meat and using beans and TVP instead I spent 196$ for a month worth of food with to many snack for DH lol. I am very happy.

Todays sermon was very lovely the whole theme of the service was about thanks giving. The hims were nice and the readings really hit home. Especially since we are a one income family and have had some hard times.

That's it for now.

God Bless.

How fitting that we had a fire call today. I think every fire fighter out there still hurts from this. I know my station does. We were put on stand by that day and our Chief went up. He still tells the stories. I know it effected every one but I think the fire fighters across the country were some that took it and still take it the hardest. I still pray for their souls. I think I always will.

Obama's Speech.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/03/parents-object-obamas-national-address-students/

Many parent's are keeping their kids from watching the upcoming speech in school and I DON'T blame them! Some schools aren't even letting the parents have a choice and that aggravates me even more!

"But some parents won't be allowed to "opt-out" their kids everywhere. At least one school district, Tempe Elementary School District No. 3 in Arizona, is not permitting parents to pull their children out of class during Obama's speech."

How can a school district tell parents "your child is going to watch this and you don't have a choice" and people wonder why I am going to home school.

Another thing that I don't find kosher is this.

" lesson plans, for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 6, which suggested that students write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." Another assignment for students after hearing the speech was to discuss what "the president wants us to do."

This is supposed to be a speech about education? This to me sounds like something else, something that I would not want my child exposed to.

How does every one else feel?

THE DUGGARS!

Are expecting again I am so happy for them! I will also let God decide how many children we will have and raise them in the name of the lord!

In other thoughts I have come to realize I need to spend some time reading my bible hoping to calm this nagging disobedience that I have when it comes to certain things regarding my husband. There was an issue today and I relaize now I should be more respectful. And I plan to from now on.

Blessed I am

Today has been a very blessed day. I truly know that God works in mysterious ways.

This song makes me feel better

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yea - I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love anyway

Help.

It has been a crazy 2 months. Our first 2 months on our own. Here's what's going on. Every thing that could possibly happen that involves money has happened. The rent as been upped and we went over our food budget. Dh doesn't get paid till Wednesday and we have 30 dollars in the checking and Dh's truck needs gas. My car is in the shop and needs 900$ to fix it. We have money in the savings but I hate using it. And to top it all off my Grandmother probably has cancer, we are waiting for the results of a stat MRI. Help?

Please pray for every one involved if you could. We need it.

Thanks.
