Hello, Faith Driven Life Community! 🌟 I wanted to share an update for those of you who’ve been following my little saga. After being without heat since December 17th, I am thrilled to report that my gas-powered heat was finally fully restored this past Monday! 🎉 Now, I can keep the house warmer (thank goodness, because it’s still bitterly cold here in Ellensburg—27 degrees as I write this!) and enjoy cooking again with my gas range. I woke up yesterday morning so grateful for the warmth and functioning kitchen, but wouldn’t you know it—at 7:30 a.m., the electricity went out due to equipment failure at the power company. While the heat and gas range were fine, everything else—lights, computers, and all those devices we rely on daily—were completely shut down. Since my computer is central to my work, I was essentially out of commission until the power came back on later in the afternoon. Crazy times, right? Sometimes all you can do is laugh instead of getting frustrated or upset. And laugh I did! 😊 I think everything is finally in order now, and I’m praying for smooth days ahead. Thank you for your prayers, your patience, and for being part of this amazing community. It’s moments like these that remind me how grateful I am for all of you. Stay warm, stay blessed, and keep shining bright! With joy and gratitude,Susan Gregory

Hello everyone. How is your new Healthy Lifestyle working for you? For me, it's an uphill climb, but I am determined to make it my reality.

Lately, I’ve been spending way too much money, and I’m starting to realize I might not be managing my funds properly. The crazy part? It’s not like I’m going broke—I’m actually making more money than I ever expected (over $30K/month), but somehow, my expenses keep increasing just as fast. It feels like the more I make, the more I spend, and I don’t even know where the money goes half the time. I know I should probably be investing or saving better, but honestly, I’ve never had to manage this kind of income before. For those who have experience handling large inflows of cash, how do you stay disciplined with spending and make sure your money works for you long-term? I’d really appreciate any advice. Also, does anyone else struggle with this, or is it just me?

*A HELPING OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT I listen for that still small voice To guide me as I make a choice That healthy things I'd choose to eat To walk in victory, not defeat The flesh wants to be satisfied But Jesus says to flesh I've died Obey My Holy Spirit within Depend on Me if you want to be thin I nailed your failures to that tree And rose to give you victory Now you may think that I don't care About your plate or what you put on there I want you healthy, physically fit A purpose for your life, that you'd walk in it That in every area you'd Be whole and well And in your healthy temple I shall dwell Written by Robyn Sorensen
