So I've been pondering whether or not to give this a go, and am now feeling that it's a bit of a redundant question to ask.
In the last month I've been wondering how we'll get the following (which we could do with):
Happiness is a terry nappy :-) |
- some kind of bike or trailer that will enable me to get to and from work and nursery with me, the kids and all the baggage
- how I can live with out a few new clothes during the year (that I actually like :-)
- how I'm going to replace some terry nappies that are getting holes in
- what I'm going to do about presents (especially for adults) during the year.
And these are the answers that God has supplied:
- someone has (indefinitely) lent us a bike trailer which can hold at least one child and baggage, and fits on my bike!
- I popped into the Rowans Hospice Charity Shop in Southsea and came out with a Boden Skirt for a fiver! (which having looked online, would have cost a minimum of fify quid!!!!)
- I've just had a text from a friend who is getting rid of some terry nappies...could I use them?
- I've had an inspired idea...you'll have to visit soon to see a blog on that...but don't worry friends & family, you'll be getting something :-)
So I've decided to stop pondering, and get going. God can help us get the things we need and far exceed my limited expectations....WOW....God is Good!
Some more inspiration and ideas might come from this chappy too.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/series/moneyless-man
