yesterday I had lunch with a friend who bought lunch for me. :)
Today, I had more cereal from our cereal lunch 2 days ago.
my 2011 GOAL is to donate to Feed My Starving Children by giving up the unnecessary luxuries in my life. Example, going out to eat less, less Starbucks, and less everything else. Every time I would have purchased something I don't really need, I'll give that money instead. And doing this blog will really help to hold me accountable. $1 donated to FeedMyStarvingChildren=4 meals (3.917 to be exact)

we had a cereal lunch at work today (the design group). So, no Jimmy Johns or Starbucks. But I did buy a box of cereal.

$5
I did it again, went to Starbucks that is. However, I brought my lunch, so no Jimmy Johns. And my drink was under $2. I know, all excuses.
On another note, I've got a good quote from the book I'm reading "Forgotten God" by Fancis Chan
pg 83-84: "Recently, a man dying of cancer asked the church elders to anoint him with oil and pray for his healing. Before we prayed, however, I asked the man a question I don't normally ask: "Why do you want to be healed? Why do you want to stay on this earth?" The man, as well as everyone else around, seemed a bit surprised that I would ask such a blunt question.
The reason I probed like this is because in the epistle of James, we are reminded that we often don't receive the answers to our prayers because we ask for the wrong reasons: "You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions" (James 4:3). Our desire to live should be for the sake and glory of the God who put us on this earth in the first place.

didn't get coffee or anything today. I wasn't feeling so well, (got the rash around my neck, and body, that I get when I'm sick. And it keeps getting worse). so didn't leave the house.

Habitat volunteering was fun today! I felt like I contributed more than last time. So glad I went.
