LOVE your idea. Interestingly enough, after having just finished reading Tom Davis' Scared, I was thinking that I would really like to follow a typical Swazi diet for awhile...or Ethiopian...or Ugandan. I pray that God will richly bless your family as you seek His heart for those in need.<br /><br />With joy,<br />AmyAmy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723131712935063028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-89530896078649963142009-09-07T07:32:08.328-07:002009-09-07T07:32:08.328-07:00What a great idea!

You are incredible to come up with different ideas to make a difference. <br /><br />We have rice and beans every lunch as we live at an orphanage in Uganda and that is actually extravagant here. It has changed my perspective on eating. I eat to live instead of living to eat. <br /><br />Press on!Caralinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716412399840905052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-12927386608094477222009-09-06T17:47:47.618-07:002009-09-06T17:47:47.618-07:00Me again!

I am encouraged to do better & be better every time I "speak" with you or read your posts!<br /><br />While we are not doing beans & rice, we have been making many adjustments in the way we have been doing things b/c we are inspired. I'm trying to take the time to research deals & make my trips worthwhile (went to store last week & saved $66 on a $120 order...woohoo!) & REALLY thinking twice about purchases of any type. We also find great joy in LOOKING for the ways God provides & taking the time to give thanks (for example: Punkie needed new shoes--flip flop weather is quickly fading--so we were headed out. Got a $20 coupon in the mail that very day, so we got her good shoes for $9.97!).<br /><br />Finally, the pickle jar is washed & on the counter. What a blessing it has been to watch the kids thinking of places they might find change or other ways we might save money. Even more, it has been an awesome conversation starter about how God loves children & wants them to have families & that HE WILL PROVIDE.<br /><br />Okay, this probably could have just been a blog post in itself, but, you know.........Dardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506811940537594798noreply@blogger.com
