Part of Sarah's homeschooling curiculum is Bible time. The other day we were reading in Luke about How Jesus tells us that we are to ask God and that he will provide for us. I was pointing out to Sarah that God does want to know the desires of our hearts, but that doesnt mean that he will provide everything we ask, and that we shouldnt use God as a wish list. And that he will give us what is good for us, we just have to trust in Him. Anyways, I asked Sarah if there was something that she wanted, but didnt feel like she was going to get. She said that she really wanted a pair of Heely's, but didnt think she would get a pair because they are expensive, and we havent found a pair that we could afford. So I told her that she just needed to pray and trust that God would answer her prayer, and I told her that he might answer no because He didnt feel that was best for her. Well yesterday after church I took the kids to the Goodwill, and told them we would see if we could find some treasures. Well what would be on the shelves waiting for Sarah? A pair of practically new heelys in her size!! Afterwards on the way home, I was talking to her about how she asked God and he supplied. I told her that even though it wasnt something that was necessary, God felt she should have them. It was neat to see God work, even when it comes to a pair of skate shoes.

Thrift stores are great. Especially if you're one of those people who shop to kill time. Often you can spend an hour in there & come away w/ only 5 items & spend less than $30!
A lot of times I just need to get out of the house and do something. But going to a mall or big store would mean I would buy a lot of things that I really didnt need or could afford, I have very low self control at times, so the thrift store is perfect.I can even splurge and get the kids a treat,so we all have a nice time with very little missing from the wallet.
