PRAYER

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Sometimes I think that my prayer life needs a lot of work even though I pray everyday all day, but it is the quality of the prayer not the quantity. Sometimes I feel that God is not listening to me and other times I think to my self
OH MY GOSH

he is talking to me in SO many ways! I have just not been listing to him. I think that it goes both ways WE need to LISTEN to GOD! It is by his grace that I am here and surviving everyday challenges. Don't put the blame on God but the blame on YOU! Because maybe your not the one listening.



1john 5:14-15

GOODMORNING

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Good morning all of my frugal friends, dinner tonight is going to be left over pinto beans and fried potatoes. I plan on making a new frugal recipe this week with lentils and brown rice. I just know my husband will love it? We really need to eat more healthy so once a week I am going to add some sort of beans to our diet. Okay so maybe I will make it next week. We ate out twice yesterday we haven't done that forever I kinda feel bad but we were out all day, helping my son move then we went to church so that was just the way it had to be. I was to tired to make my husband lunch today, I do need to work on that!!! I hope to accomplish at least one thing to day hopefully to work in the front yard
( or play ) I am having a baby shower here in March so I kinda need to do some extra work, we should have company more often I tend to get more done!
I hope that everybody has a bless day

GOODMORNING

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Goodmorning my favorite time of the day is morning I look forward in drinking my coffe and going to my favorite sites on the computer and visiting all of the frugal people at about .com. It is so nice to know that so many ladies have a desire to be frugal to save and to use and reuse and to COOK at HOME.That was one of my biggest downfalls was eating out but now that I have got that down I lood forward to cooking. My husband enjoys cooking as well. Tonight I will make porkchops and macaroni salad and a veggie of some sort. I sure wish today was a stay at home day but I have to work so I better go for now not a lot to say today.

STOP SPENDING

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

I don't want to work harder to make more money, I want to do without and save money! Itseems like the more money I have the more I spend. Its is amazing to me how much one can spend on just small things, for example one card is at least 4.00 dollars sure they have the .99 cent ones but your probable thinking I can't just spend .99 cents on a card . I have learned the hard way on not to worry about what people think. If they don't like the .99 cent card then they don't deserve ANY card! I feel like a different person as I view money differently now, I use to think well its ONLY 20.00 dollars or I have to BUY it because it's on SALE . Since I am somewhat new at being frugal ( about 5 months now ) I still stay away from the stores that I love, because I CAN,T BE TRUSTED . But God wants us to use are money WISELY and I have not done so in the past so that is one of my goals.

CONTENT

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Good morning everyone and anyone who happens to stubble upon by blog
I just wanted to write about how so many people that I know are not content how they just need to buy one more THING. I was one of those people for a very long time! (TOO LONG) I am not sure why I changed but I think the Lord everyday. But as I get older I get more gratification if I pay a bill or make a dinner, or use something I have instead of buying something new. Although it may be easier for my to be content because we just remolded our house. Its has not been easy and I truly feel like I learned a lesson on being content. I think God had something to do with that! My famous last words are next month will be better! Well I know it will be because I have learned to live with less. I am so very blessed to have a wonderful husband and a warm house and food. No matter what struggles I go through financially I always thank the Lord for teaching me the lesson (A HARD ONE) on being CONTENT

FREEBIES

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

This morning I went on line and went to sights that give away free things or trials for different things. Of course frugal me can not pass up anything FREE so I signed up for all kinds of coupons and free samples that will come in the mail, I feel like I am just getting started with all of this frugal stuff, but there are a lot of offers out there and free samples I was overwhelmed with all of the free things and trials you can get, count me in. Thanks to Lin at Frugalliving.com she gave me a couple of sites then from there there is no end. But we all know what that means more JUNK MAIL but I have decided that the good ways over the bad. After all that may be a dollar I can but towards a dept!! YEA

Saturdays

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Saturdays are hard for me I work and then when I get home there is so much I want to do but just don't have the energy. I am getting ready to cook dinner that is a big plus it would be so easy to just go grab something but I'm not. After church tomorrow we will have a ham I bought it for $2.00 for a spiral ham they had to get rid of them all by that day. What a deal, so I will make my husbands lunch for a couple of days with left over ham , and make some pinto beans ( there good for you ) I tell myself that I am going to just eat to nurture my body like the Lord would of wanted me to but it so hard! I am drinking more water. So I am saving money on not buying so much soda. Well until next time. Ginger
