Blessed

I decided today that I want to change the tone of my blog. I do not want to be negative or judgemental. So I am going to try to write...when I do write...about how blessed I am. I need to remind myself often just how blessed my life is and I am going to start right now!

R and I are trying very hard to be wise with our finances. We want to get out of debt and have a good savings. I have been putting off getting my hair done because it is expensive and not a priority. Well this week I realized I could go on no longer, the gray is taking over...we talked about it and since I only have it done a few times a year we would put it in the budget and pinch somewhere else. Well this morning as I was opening the mail I received 2 unexpected checks. One from my little part time job, a bonus! One from my eye doctor...serious! We had over paid for something when we got our glasses...a year ago. These two checks will cover the cut and color and I will only have to pay for the tip. I am still amazed.

I have always known that the Lord blesses us when we are diligent and respectful of our finances. I just have to smile when he does it in such an unexpected way...I feel like he is smiling down saying "don't even try to understand, just feel blessed" So I am going to feel blessed and really enjoy my time being pampered.
