Little one has a pageant she wants to be in that is out of my budget so I'll be making lots of art to hopefully sell to fund that adventure. The big one and I will be going to Costa Rica in less than 90 days and I've got to raise some money for that too. The middle one wants to go back to football camp this summer, which is not cheap, nor is it in my debt-snowball budget. But we'll make it work. I'm going to put my Pinterest pins to work by re-creating some crafts for the little one to make herself and "earn" her beauty pageant trip. The big one is going to help me at a craft show I do locally every year to "earn" his trip. I just need to find something for that middle child to do to earn his football camp trip. I would like to find time to save money for a family trip this summer, too. Even if it's just a weekend getaway, just the 5 of us - three boys and two girls.
I must say, I have had an overwhelming feeling that I am being urged to write and illustrate. I can't explain it and don't really want to try to explain it. I take these things as God trying to speak to me. It is just sometimes hard to focus on what he is trying to say because we are so...busy. I have to slow down and take the time to talk to him more and find out if what I feel is his way of telling me I should pursue that or if it is just a hobby that I currently miss because I don't have the time to indulge it. Either way, I enjoy writing and illustrating and think, maybe, if I could find all my little stories and poems, I could put together some type of book that I could sell at my craft show and online to fund these little adventures this summer. That would be nice.
Be blessed!
