Just jumped off the treadmill!! Got my 30 minute workout in...I overslept this morning so I didn't get any closet time but I just had a sweet prayer walk!
I weighed this morning and again I'm the same weight I've been for the last month or so. The weight's not going down but I'm maintaining and I was able to get into a pair a shorts I haven't worn in over a year!
Are you ready to hear a new commitment I made today?? I've decided to give up sodas again (only the 100th time in my life!). Lately, I've been drinking one a day which just isn't necessary or healthy...and I don't do diet drinks so I'm drinking lots of sugar! Typically when I feel prompted to give-up something, I would go overboard that day and then quit the next day. I desperately wanted one last Dr. Pepper today but felt like I needed to be obedient today and not wait.
The kids and I had a fun afternoon together and got to play with our neighbors before dinner.
We have a huge adoption praise! Little man's Aunt & Uncle were able to briefly meet with the head lady in the tribe on the rez today about us. They have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow night to potentially give her our letter and pictures. Please continue to pray for God's favor. Yesterday marks 1 year since God called us to move forward in adopting. It was a great day!
Abundance is...watching God move mightily!

"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.

Hey Brooke - it's Heather W., like my "code" name? :) I've been follwing your blog, I think I found the link from your hubby's blog. You are truly inspirational and so positive, I love reading your blog! I noticed you said you were giving up sodas and you don't do the diet ones, which I don't either with the exception of Diet Dr. Pepper. To me it doesn't taste like diet at all. I think it tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper...you might want to give it a shot you really can't taste the aspartame. Sorr for the long comment... :)
I just found out that I really like Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry :) I am trying to not drink ANY sodas, though...diet included. Maybe one a day. Great job getting your workout in! Very proud of you. Praying for things to go smoothly with the meeting, too...
