Good morning, almost afternoon, I’m trying to start today, with listening to God and start doing things not only I like/love to do, but things he’s been trying to work for my good, things he’s been trying to show me, apparently I’m just not seeing them, but I’m working on that. Starting today.

My favorite hobbies:. Reading and writing

My current desires:. To gain a work from home income, that preferably won’t interfere with family time.

Things I found i’m good at and love to do:. Researching/finding out information, writing, reading, typing.

What I’m trying lately too help cut our expenses:. Limit spending money I don’t have to, ie, grocery shopping every two weeks-sometimes though, that backfires on me..😟.. Borrowing books from the library that help me do what I’m aiming to do, let me give some examples.

Recently, we’ve had some issues with our house and I thought I was limited to cooking with just the stovetop, however, God led me too just what I needed, books that will help me utilize my slow cooker and I’m looking to also utilize my pressure cooker. Our one income feels like it’s limiting us, but as long as I keep pressing on, listening to God, I can utilize what he’s blessing me with.

A list of books that I found at the library, i’d love to own..

*Make it fast, cook it slow-Stephanie o’dea,(love her cookbooks and will be checking out her website also…crockpot365.blogspot.com)

*More make it fast, cook it slow-Stephanie o’dea

*365 slow cooker suppers-Stephanie o’dea

*Eat vegan on $4 a day-Ellen jaffe Jones (I’ve been having gut issues that made me start eating vegan, not all bad, but was looking for assistance doing it)

*Eat well on $4 a day, good and cheap eats-Leanne Brown

I’ve been trying to come up with ways to utilize my slow cooker and pressure cooker for meals to not only get us thru each week to eat, freeze and send with my trucker hubby to save him money on the road. If anybody has ideas, suggestions, advice, I am up for them, please and thank you.

I do remember the last time I went grocery shopping at our Meijers store, they had quit carrying zesta crackers, saltines. That was my preferred brand and I really prefer not to always go to other stores to get stuff.

Another item (s) that they seem to not carry anymore either, Bob’s red Mill gluten free white rice, sweet rice, and potato starch flours. Yes, there is another store that carries them, but I don’t feel I need to stop at ten different stores for all my items.

Ok, enough of my thoughts for now, gonna try and finish my grocery list and menu and get that chore done.

Well, in the past month or so, since I’ve written before, I’ve dealt with alot. Today, I’m continuing my journey of dental Care, ie, extractions and denture molds, very interesting the molding procedure is. It sucks that I’ve got to experience this, but, it’s a temporary setback. Like most of my life, I’m not in the past anymore and I’m tired of trying to be made to reside there. Since mid September, after my mother’s open heart surgery, I haven’t spoken to her, nor has she attempted to contact me or return messages, so, apparently her and my brother are parts of my past I’m supposed to let go of right now. However, on a more positive note, my mother in law, bless her to pieces Lord, she has been fabulous to our family. It sucks having financial issues, and it sucks even more when someone else has to pick up your tab so you can do the basics. But we don’t know where we’d be without being blessed by her.

We may not always agree on everything, but she has been there for us. What I do know is, I want and need to come up with a work from home position that doesn’t interfere with my family duties but allows me to earn a good income. So tomorrow, I’ll be trying to attempt transcription and writing. If anybody has any good suggestions or offers, I’m open to them.

Have a great night. I’m gonna dose myself up with meds, watch a movie with my baby girl and read and go to bed.
