Doing something new for the first time is sometimes scary-exciting isn’t it?
Our little family is about to do some of these big scary new things and we’re looking to the Lord.
Sometimes a new thing is a little thing. Like, today for example, I ordered coupons on a clipping site for the first time ever. Paying for coupons? Seems silly doesn’t it? Well, I used to think so. But paying cents when you can save dollars is actually not a bad idea. I used Klip2save for the first time today using money from my paypal account that I earned through rebate apps such as Checkout 51, Ibotta, and Snap by Groupon. I’m calling it “using my savings to grow my savings”. And I’ll actually be using a few of the coupons to get stuff FREE.
A lot of couponers do this because they have a big secret. They view the flyer early! Who knew??? Let me introduce you to DealsbyDarlene!!! If you are a Shaw’s shopper, she will become your new best friend. Getting a sneak pre-view of next weeks ad has been wonderful. And many people use this tool to buy their coupons on Monday for use on Friday’s sale. Or like what I have been doing… holding off on purchases this week when next weeks deal is BETTER. Corn is on sale Friday, why buy it today? Check it out and see for yourself!
Sometimes doing a new thing is a little bigger. Yesterday, my husband got me set up for an etsy account. Not much in stock yet, nor do I have a shop name, but you’ll see some cute new baby booties eventually and we’ll see where business goes from there.
Knitting and crocheting is mostly a fun hobby for me and helps me to feel productive while I’m doing other things.
Sometimes doing something new is BIG. What have you done? Or what do you want to do that is big, scary, exciting? Please share. I’d love to hear it.
I’m encouraged by this verse:
“By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8)
