Transform your dwelling space a little today with a fragrant candle and a hot cup of coffee (or hot chocolate or tea). I did this at work and it soothed my lady soul!
So what about resolutions? Got any good ones, friends? I'm all about short term goals because the discipline I can muster to get through the next 6 weeks is the only kind of discipline that will make those next 6 weeks count towards lifetime habits.
SO.....here it is!
I am not wandering around Target. I am not “browsing” an online store.
I am not flipping through magazines with an eye for anything but a new recipe or way to store socks.
I am refusing the temptation of a coupon.
Six weeks of non-frivolous buying, ladies.
Anyone wish to join me? Just think how this could change us!
Downline started up again last night and the ladies plunged ourselves into Womanhood study. This passage really woke me up:
1 Peter 3:1-5
"Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful."
Isn't that WONDERFUL!?
Much Love!

I think we're going to have to define frivolous, because there's new OK Go and Vampire Weekend albums out next week. That's a definite need, right?
ReplyDeleteNow, Mimi...I personally define "frivolous" spending as anything that you haven't saved for or that is impulsive and "unneeded". I, for one, am saving my play money for some cosmetics that I will soon run out of. This is pre-meditated spending and, I am sure, just as necessary as new tuneage...
