It was just a very painful shopping experience. And I hate to say that I'm totally done with coupons. I do not want to discourage anyone else however...so I do have a LOCAL blog that you need to follow.
My new friend Amy started a blog back in January, and I do hope that you'll follow her over at Blessings N' Couponing and she will be posting your favorite local deals along with daily scripture (to share the ultimate FREE GIFT) and other freebies that she finds!!
I'm also still going to have sponsored giveaways. This change that I've made doesn't mean that I'm not going to share wonderful product reviews. I still may post some freebies that are shared with me, but mostly if I think that they are relevant to the new direction of this blog.
If I lose readers because of this, I'm very sorry. I just cannot continue feeling as if my shopping trips don't reflect the love of Christ (and sometimes its almost impossible to be yelled at in front of 30 Target guests and your very own 8-year old daughter to still hold yourself together and make sure that Christ is coming through in every comment you make...). I hope that everyone understands.
I will close this blog entry with much hope (and a teaser of what's to come).
I just received a package from Patricia at Supermarket Smarty and I will be posting a review within a week or so of their erasable shopping list!! It looks fabulous and I'm really excited to offer this to you!!
And here's my hope and my lesson learned in this experience. I hope that you can see this passage reflected in what I've posted here.
Philippians 2:1-11 (New International Version)
Philippians 2
Imitating Christ's Humility
1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
