Blessed

I feel so blessed lately. I know God is always doing good things. But lately I feel even more blessed. It has to do with the couponing and so here's my coupon story and you'll understand why I feel blessed with it.

My coupon story

While I don't have stockpiles of stuff laying around. I have just started couponing and it has really helped out my family. See we don't always have money to spend on groceries, and there's not always enough to eat. And I can say that I know what hunger is, or at least I've had the taste of it. See I have a rare genetic blood disease as I have talked about a lot throughout my blog, and it requires me to eat regulary. So when I don't have enough food I get 10 times sicker than normal. And it has been awful, I got to the point where I was tired of not having enough and I didn't know what to do. I prayed and asked God to help us and I believe he sent TLC'S Extreme Couponing into my life for a reason. I just started watching the show lately and it has helped me realize that I too can coupon and have food. Enough so I don't get sick just because I haven't had enough to eat. Maybe some people can live on 1 meal a day, but I can't. Not without consequences. My father could tell you even worse hunger stories, he was very poor growing up and has gone a lot without food when he was younger, so he knows more about hunger than I do. But I've had my taste of it, and I can say it's not pretty. I'm just going to leave it at that. So I've been couponing and it has paid off. I now have more cereal than I need. Enough so I won't starve for breakfast anytime soon. We have several bags of Rold Gold Pretzels now because of the Pretzels deals going on and the coupons I have for them. And of course all the other stuff I've shown on here. And it's also let me buy more of other stuff like Milk and Water, stuff that I don't have coupons for but we need. So I feel very blessed right now. And I just thank God for helping me out of the state of hunger, cause without him I'd be very sick by now. Thank you Jesus for helping me out!
