Trusting God for Our Needs
I had the post all written in my mind. I was going to write about how wonderful children’s consignment sales are. I’ve written about them before, and they have been a key part of our living on one income. But as the kids grow, the selection at these sales gets thinner. Babies outgrow their clothes…
