2nd Kings 1-2
Psalms 19-20

The following verses really caught my eye:
Psalm 19:13
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

I'm going to start praying this!

Daily Bible reading

1 Kings 17-18
Psalms 13-14

I was reading The Student Bible today and it made a great point. I've always associated  the widow with having great faith, but what about Elijah? He definitely had to have faith to trust a poor woman with his upkeep. He knew it was really God providing for him and not the poor widow. That is faith! How many times do we think our husbands (if you want to become a stay at home wife) can't provide the fiances we need? We think oh it's easy for Elijah to have faith, but if you really think of it in context then it should be easy for us to have faith in our husband's ability to provide for us, because ultimately it's God who will provide.  Not so easy sometimes, right? "What is impossible with man is possible with God." (Luke 18:29)

Cash envelopes

I received this great link. She shows you how to keep your cash envelopes all together in your wallet. Very Pretty.

I use the envelope system here in Belize because the bank fees are ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, we still have a bank account. We just pull out the money we need on a weekly basis from the atm and put it in envelopes. In the US we used our checks for everything, but here they charge you for every single check you use, plus they charge you to withdraw money from a teller. The only thing they don't charge for is using the atm. And going to the atm every day is not cool.

That's where the envelopes come in.  If you don't use envelopes (or some kind of budgeting tactic) to keep your money separated, you will run out of money before the end of the month because everything here is so expensive

As Christians we have to be good stewards, so the envelope system has definitely helped. Dave Ramsey, the author of Total Money Makeover, also advocates the envelope system.

This tutorial will just be an easier way to implement the envelope system. Lately, I have to dig through my purse to find the envelopes. Can you say time saver? You don't even need to make the pretty envelopes, just use regular envelopes and stitch them together per the tutorial.

Bread Pudding

OK, we just left church and we want something sweet! So, I found this recipe for bread pudding.
Of course I did change it a little. I added a lot more bread and toasted it. I also added cinnamon and nutmeg. I'll let you know how it comes out.

Daily Bible Reading

Today I read 1 Kings 5 & 6 and Psalms 1 & 2. I'm going to try and post my daily bible reading, so I can be accountable. :) I've been trying to read through the bible in an orderly fashion again, but this time instead of reading it linearly I'll add the books of poetry into my daily reading. Clear as mud? So, even though I'm in Kings I've already read Job. Now I'm in Psalms and will continue until Song of Songs.

Mail to Belize

I found this great blog with information on getting mail to Belize.

I was also told by another missionary that any religious mail isn't charged duty fees. I can't wait to start getting my home school magazines and books.
