Whew!

Yesterday was a DOOZY!

We went to churchwhich was wonderful! Our church has planted a new campus in St. Matthews, and we have been enjoying watching that church grow! We are already busting at the seams, and we have only been meeting for 2 (official) weeks!!

Then we visited with Khada and Rupa, our Nepali friends. Khada has been the sole bread winner in his family since they arrived in America over a year ago. They have 3 precious children who are very young. Khada is out of work because he had surgery, and now his family is without income for 2 months. Please be praying with me for them. We know that God will use this to work in their lives -- and that is what we should be most concerned with, but it is difficult to watch this sweet family struggle! If you want to help in any way with Khada's family, I have a specific list of needs for them, and we would be grateful for all your help!

Then, I went home and rested for an hour or two...what a blessing from the Lord!

Afterwards, I prepared my weekly grocery list AND I used coupons!!! I saved $21 bucks!! I also used re-usable grocery bags and got extra points towards fuel purchases. Well, if that is not productive enough for ya...I went home and got busy! I made the chili for last night's menu, and I got a head start on this week's meals. I went ahead and made the green chili lasagna. I had some bananas that needed to be used, so I baked 'Chunky Monkey Muffins' which is really banana nut muffins with chocolate chips and walnuts. THEN...ta daa! I made ham and cheese brunch squares for breakfast this week. I usually split the recipe into 2 dishes and freeze one of them for later on...WHEW!~ What a day! Very productive!

I will share pics of Khada and Rupa soon. We were able to take a few while we were visiting yesterday.
