once a month cooking

Well I have been reading up and looking for recipes to try and I'm ready to go at it.. I am wanting to stock my freezer up with ready to eat home cooked meals that are fast and convenient. I have been reading a couple of ladies blogs here lately that have really inspired me to do so.

I have on my list to make today: sweet potato casserole, Mashed potatoes, Homemade re fried beans, Bean and cheese burritos, Breakfast burritos, mac n cheese and a few other things. If all goes well I will try and post pictures.

This will be interesting and I'm looking forward to the results cause if I can manage this once a month cooking that will free up alot of my time for other things.

Fun ways to earn cash and ideas to earn free products

I have put together at the bottom of my blog a list of places I have joined to make some spare change and earn free prizes. I have checked them out and they are all known to be very good companies that I have used myself. There are tons of opportunities to take advantage of out there. I will be adding more as I find them and review them for myself.

Prayer Request

To all or whom may read this I just ask that we all come together and pray for this nation and each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. I really wish I knew more Narrow minded bible believing Christians in my area I feel so alone sometimes but realize I'm never alone cause God is always with me. It can get to be a struggle sometimes living to be different and serve Christ when the world around you is going down the drain but I just look forward to the reason I'm doing it and that is to be Gods light in a darkened world.

Gettin back in the groove

Well I do not blog often except when I have lots going on and something exciteing to share or have a huge inspiration from the Lord to do so. God has been taking me thru the Fire and Trials of life to make me the person I have been praying him to make me. I have a Great desire to overcome any sin, anger or spirit that stands in my way of becoming the woman Christ wants me to be. When you really have the desire and pray for God to strengthen you and help you it will not be easy cause he will and can purge you of all things that are not bearing good fruit in your life and that is when the fight with Satan begins. We must put on the full armour of God new each day ready to battle so we can win the fight and overcome our strongholds. Well that is a bit of what im learning and pushing thru right now. I pray that all Woman will have the desire to fulfill there God given roles in life and will suceed.

Well our garden has been busting out the cucumbers, squash and tomatoes like crazy been giving most of it away and freezing and making homemade tomato sauce and sweet and sour pickles. I LOVE IT! I have learned so much from this years gardening experience that will be good use for next year. I'm going to start prep early for next year that way I can plan better now that I know a few tips and tricks. Things are alot easier to do then alot of people make it sound you just have to get in there and try it for yourself to realize. Work can be hard at first but in the end it is truly rewarding.
