Call me out on anything important that I missed! Until next time!

heaven is definitely real

Ok, have you heard of the book? Replace the definitely with for and you'll get the real title. I don't want to type it out because google could potentially lead everyone I know to this blog. And it's my little secret remember?

Anyhoo, before we moved a year and a half ago, the author was our pastor.

The book has been #1 on NY Times Bestseller list, and a couple weeks ago was featured in People magazine. They've been all over the news around here.

If you haven't read the book you should. The story is awesome. And it's real.

Unfortunately, it seems the fame is tearing apart our church family back home.

It makes me sad.

But I take hope in God's word: For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. -Matthew 23:12

God's will be done, but may the humbling take place sooner rather than later.

come back to me!

Okay sometimes you have to quit something to make you realize what you had. I'M NOT READY! I can't just quit. No, I'm not around much, but I can make it better! So scratch the last post, I'm not going to quit blogging completely, I just can't.

Now that we have that out of the way. I need to vent. This is our first month on Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, and I totally excited. For meal planning I bought a 3-month-subscription to e-mealz.com. We got the low-carb plan. I just went to the store and spent NINETY-THREE DOLLARS on 4 meals plus a few staples like milk, bread and peanut butter! SERIOUSLY?!? Uh, not exactly in the budget. I was completely disappointed. Hubby thinks we should buy a month's worth of groceries but I can't decide. I spent over an hour at the store and I'm NOT doing that every week!

How do you meal plan?

Oh and more on my total money makeover later.
