No shopping until February!

Hi All!

I'm popping in to say that I haven't forgotten about this blog! I'm also here to say that I'm participating in a 21 day fast and in addition to giving up meat for 21 days, I'm also giving up something I enjoy - which is shopping! Well, non-essential shopping, that is. (If you want to read more about the fast that 100's of churches nationwide are participating in, here's the link.)

I have to admit, giving up meat in my carnivorous household is hard, but giving up shopping... well, I'm here to say, that it has been very hard. See, the thing is... I will often look, but not buy... which fits my pocketbook pretty well. But, while I'm out shopping, I'm wasting time. And, when I'm wasting time, I'm wasting time that could be otherwise spent in prayer or God's word.

So, I'll be back in February. And when I do, I'll be on the lookout for great deals to prepare for our trip to Disneyworld in May!

Love ya!
Erica

  1. I think you should have a Small Group to show us ladies "HOW" to shop at Goodwill. You know a little direction on how to find the "diamond in the rough" :)
