I'm sorry that I haven't written for a while. Between travel with my dh job, a huge garden at a friends house, and trying to help my teens raise money for their mission trips, our life has just been too crazy to type!
An update on our little faith experiment: June is almost over and we are still free of government help (except for healthcare). Our grocery budget for 9 of us is around $400 a month...and that includes diapers, etc. But amazingly we are eating fine. We haven't missed the foodstamps at all!
We have been able to add to our food budget a little each month with some money from sales of the books that I have written. We try not to do that too often, but at least God has provided it, not the government! It has been so cool to watch Him work!
New news, my two teens are preparing for a 2 week mission trip to Scotland! They only have a month left and still need to raise over $2000...so prayer would be appreciated!
