Shopping Savvy

Life with God is never dull. Because every day He will take us to greater heights. He'll allow circumstances into our lives that leave our weaknesses glaring in our faces. He'll reveal our idols and test us beyond our endurance. All of this to teach us to walk in tune with His voice and let Him be our everything.

For the record, yes, I am aware that school just ended. And yes, I am indeed blogging about how to save on back to school supplies already...even though summer just started. Why? Because last year the Back to School deals started in July. JULY.

So this year, we're going to talk about four ways you can save on Back to School supplies and we're going to [...]
