My morning started in the Word with these two verses....they both brought so much encouragement to my heart.
2 Cor 2:14
"Thank You, God, for Your willingness to lead me to triumph."
Psalm 138:8
"The Lord WILL fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever - do not abandon the works of Your hands."
God WANTS me to triumph!! I love that and I can really tell a difference in my moments. I'm making wiser choices and saying NO to food that I've never been able to deny before. We've had a bag of chocolate chips in the house since last Sunday (a week ago!) and Brit and I are still working on them. I've been allowing myself a small handful a day, as opposed to downing the whole bag in 2 days!! Since I made the 90in09 commitment 18 days ago, food hasn't had the loud, tempting voice it used to have. It truly is miraculous! And the same Ben & Jerry's tub of ice cream is STILL in the freezer, amazing!
HIGHLIGHTS
*45 minutes on the treadmill; 20 minutes of Pilates with Brit (she loves doing it with Mommy, she tries!)
*Cleaned the house with Brit hot on my heels helping me dust, vacuum and clean-up (I'm sure I burned some calories!)
*I'm continuing to pray about going on a mission trip to Russia or Mexico this year. God closed the door for me to go to Peru.
*I wanted a Sonic latte SO BADLY tonight after our Target trip (mostly because I was getting a migraine and knew the caffeine would help) but knew that my one a week commitment doesn't start over again until tomorrow. A Sonic run is in the near future!

Quotes
"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.
