Of all the online ways to make a little money, THIS one is my favorite. It’s easy and it’s actually for real! I can vouch for this one because I was highly active with it for years. They used to do just plain cash and they were very fast and accurate with payments. Now they do points with can be redeemed for cash or rewards. Love them!

Waiting On My Breakthrough

- Amy Leave a comment

No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
– Isaiah 54:17

I would kinda like to speak from my heart today. I’m not exactly sure where to begin or what to say so we shall see how this goes. I am not trying to be dramatic or demand sympathy. I just want Gathering Grain to be real and to be real with you. Life has not been easy over the last year and 1/2 for me.

I’ve been working through some things in myself that God brought to the forefront in November of 2012. It was very unexpected and has since been one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to face. With each layer that is peeled off, there is another underneath that I have to deal with. Each one bringing a new set of emotions.

While I know that my God is bigger than anything that I have to face alone, it is extremely tiring. I have really great days when I feel as though nothing on earth can touch me. That I am confident and happy. And there are days when I simply hold back tears all day long. I often wonder why I was given such a complex situation to walk out. I’m told that it means that HE thinks I’m strong. But I can tell you that all I feel is weak. Even still, I’m thankful for His amazing grace and mercy because without it, I’m pretty positive that I wouldn’t be here today.

Last night at church, our pastor talked about breakthrough. That often times, the enemy likes to sit smack dab in the middle of our breakthroughs preventing us from claiming what God has for us. I’d say that the enemy has built a wall in front of mine. Maybe even placed a large planet in front of it. I keep stretching my arms around getting sweet tastes of it and then like Stretch Armstrong, my arms snap back and its gone again.

I am here today to say that I REBUKE the enemy AND his planet in the middle of my breakthrough. I am going to claim what God has for me. In the meantime, I will wait. I will practice patience. I will dig into my Kindgom rights and know that my Father loves me.

40% off ALL Photo Orders w/ code ALLSITE40

 

If there’s one thing that I should do more as a mom, it’s print off actual pictures! Ok, maybe there’s a lot more I should do. Lots of room for improvement. Ok, let’s just not go there.

Anywho! Walgreens Photo is offering 40% off your ENTIRE photo order with the coupon code ALLSITE40.

This is an offer that is available online only, BUT you can order online and pick-up in-store! That’s a way better deal than going straight to the store itself to order. This includes gifts and all things photo!

* Coupon code ALLSITE40 valid for up to 5 uses per Walgreens.com account thru May 03, 2014. Code must be entered at time of checkout to apply discount. Discount does not apply to Home Movies to DVD transfer, previous purchases, taxes or shipping charges. Orders must be placed by logged-in customer by May 03, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. Central Time to qualify. Timing will be determined by Walgreens server clock. Multiple coupon codes may or may not be used based on cart contents. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Offer not valid on orders placed in store. Shipping costs may apply if in-store pickup is not available in your area.

Your best bet is to upload your pic and create your order, use coupon code to purchase online and then pick-up at your store. Head to Walgreens Photo to get started.

Now WE have no excuses to not have actual photos. Am I right?

21 Days of Affirmation: I Am Adequate

- Amy 1 Comment

 

days of affirmation

We’re on day 3 of 21 Days of Affirmation. I can honestly say that I feel like I’m making a little progress with these. As I’m putting together my thoughts on each of them, I’m learning new things about the character of God and even about myself.

It’s so cool! There may be people at Kroger who think that I’m nuts talking to myself, but oh well. I’m still accepted, so ha!

i am adequate

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. -Philippians 1:7

Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. -2 Corinthians 3:5

The Philippians verse up there are words from Paul. He is speaking to all of God’s people and stating that we all share the same grace that comes straight from the Father. And I love what it says in 2 Corinthians about our competency. We ARE adequate to God. Not because of our own righteousness, but because of HIS.

Your worth should never be measured by anyone’s standards but God’s. And He says that you are adequate. This affirmation to me is a lot like being accepted. I need to remind myself that I am both. Praise God for His approval and love!

Day 1- I am accepted.

Day 2- I am totally forgiven.

Day 3- I am adequate.

How have the affirmations been going for you? Even in you haven’t joined in the challenge, just reading them might brighten your day and remind you of some much needed encouragement.
