Sorry, I am just seeing your comment today. I get so much email that I guess the notification for a comment just slipped right past me. We have been through so much the past few years. Just when things seem to lighten up a little it gets crazy again. I hope that he is building the character in me that he wants. I know that I am not the same person today that I was years ago.

Jonah is the only prophet to ever tell Him, "No". Wow! I'm sure my track record is much worse, however. This study of Jonah is flooring me. My life has been relatively calm for the past couple of years, but there was a period during which I felt like God was "picking on me" as if no one else needed to learn the lessons or trials that He allowed me to go through. Silly, but it's what I thought. LOL! When I came out of those trials, I could only describe the plans that He had for me as "out of this world". I couldn't begin to fathom His rewards in my human mind, but He blew me away. As a believer, I know you can attest to His faithfulness as your blog today continues to praise Him in the midst of storms. Blessings!

I find myself longing for boredom. I don't understand why thing keep happening but the best thing I can do is praise God through it. It keeps things in perspective and helps me not to feel sorry for myself or get depressed. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :) Unfortunately, the past few years have been full of interruptions.

You've been through a great many interruptions, but are handling it by with His help. I'm currently reading "Jonah: A Life Interrupted" by Priscilla Shirer with a ladies' bible study group at church where we discuss things like relocation, surgery, job loss, etc. You know, interruptions. Lately, I haven't had any major interruptions, just the daily ones that come with having a family of six and working fulltime. But that's enough to keep me from blogging as much as I'd like. I'm on vacation this extended weekend, I finally found the time to post something. Thanks for sharing your attitude of gratitude. Stay blessed! CC It’s good to see you back, Karen.

The line for orthotics and fake eyelashes was always long. I have custom made orthotics for my shoes anyway (due to a heel spur) so I didn't need to get tested. I was just curious of what it would say. I didn’t get tested either. The line for orthotics and fake eyelashes was always long.

I wanted to get my feet tested for the orthotics, but I never had time to wait. I would have loved to get the Fast Flats, too, they are always sold out at Target!

This means if you have a coupon for $1.50 it will double to $3 off. There is no overage given. If doubling the coupon gives you $3 off but the product costs $2.69 you will be given the $2.69 off. There is a limit of 20 coupons per day. They will not double any coupon that states "do not double" on the coupon. Here is a link to some of my past HT coupon purchases. This will give you some ideas. http://www.thethriftymommy.com/category/deals-sales/harris-teeter/ Be sure to take a lot more than 20 coupons with you. They will be sold out of some items. Try to pair a coupon with a sale. It's a good idea to look online to see which items are on sale before you go. Also, if you already have a VIC card you need to register it online to be enrolled in the eVIC program. It usually takes a week to start getting the eVIC specials but there are some good savings in those sales. Tammy, Harris Teeter will double coupons with a face of up to $1.98.
