Savings

 At the beginning of the year we purposed in our hearts to pay off the mortgage this year; an unrealistic, impossible goal that needs the help of a miracle or two. But it sprang me into saving money wherever I can.

This morning I spend over an hour speaking to the various phone and internet companies negotiating monthly prices. It worked. I reduced our expenses. 

A week ago friends told us about a new food store in the area. We measured the distance from our house in our heads and we decided to take a walk there. It took 45 minutes to get to the new store, 15 minutes longer then to where we usually shop. The prices were cheaper, the store cleaner, the produce fresher and we even enjoyed the experience. While from other stores we have to walk back, we can take a local bus directly to our house from this new store. I was so pleased; I called our friends to thank them for the recommendation.  Again, we saved some money.

Saving money on regular expenses makes me feel good.

37th day of Thanks - Thank You God for showing us how to pay lower rates and save money on our expenses while You are working on a miracle to pay off our mortgage. We are looking forward to see how the impossible will come to pass.
