seeing as how i think best when blogging, and how it was payday for me today, i want to make up a shopping list of things to buy/pay/do this month.
1. first and foremost: tithe;
2. get the book "Unchristian" (so i can participate in the church study);
3. *maybe* get a trinket from 10,000 Villages (just so i can say i went this year, lol);
4. pay bills;
5. buy groceries and necessities;
6. get a 2009 bus pass (so it comes in before 2009, lol);
7. *hopefully* pitch some cash toward the sound board for all those sunday cds;
8. [insert whatever i'm forgetting]....
... all this with $600, for the next 4 weeks. FUN.
now, to be simply boring, a list of necessaries, with estimated cost:
toothpaste - $7 (Jason Healthy Mouth Tea Tree & Cinnamon - i'm fussy! lol);
4x big packs of TP - $25 (one for each week);
big jug laundry soap - $16 (Nature Clean - having allergies/asthma ain't cheap);
tea tree oil - $7 (for my "shampoo" - which is actually my laundry liquid, diluted, lol);
dishwasher powder -$10? (Seventh Generation);
5x $50 grocery gift cards $250 (one for each week, and one for unexpecteds);
...oh my gosh, for a second i almost fell over cuz i thought, 'gee, i just might actually have enough money for this month!'.... then remembered the chunk going out for bills. aw, gee.....
...... and Christmas shopping? ....what's that? ....is there really such a thing?
....Lord, good thing You are the God of the IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!
haha, one more list: a wishlist. cuz God is the God of the impossible!
good waterproof winter boots that aren't clodhoppers.
a tub of old fashioned vanilla ice cream, made with real cream.
jeans that don't fall off.
another 100% cotton or wool blanket/quilt for winter.
a raincoat/waterproof jacket.
pink hair dye.
cable tv for the winter.
a blender for smoothies.
a pedi-foot treatment of some kind, cuz my feet cling to the carpet like velcro!
and.....
a running, insured car with gas pre-paid for the winter (ha! lol)
the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks
"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)
i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes
i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
