So, I know this may sound completely crazy, but I just realized that YES...I am Costa Rican!! I took a good look at my birth certificate and noticed my mother was born there, which of course makes me Costa Rican too. Most of you would know these things. I guess I am slow when it comes to things like that. Mostly though, I am sure it is my mother being gone for so long. How would I know for sure? I mean really!! How many people sit and look at their birth certificates anyway?? O.K. enough with that.
My Church is planning a mission trip there in the fall. I have always wanted to visit there and knew that someday I would. It is an absolutely beautiful country with the most breathtaking views I have seen (in pictures). However, it is also a poor country with so many that are suffering. That is where I...and my little man will lend a hand. I think it is a PERFECT opportunity for him to see firsthand the importance of service to others. He has lead a somewhat sheltered life until now. Not anymore :-)! Even at 6 years old, he can appreciate the needs of others and this will allow him to stretch beyond his own comfort zone of giving. I am excited!
Lots to plan in the meantime, especially just the cost of the whole thing. Yet I know, God will provide as He always has. I am not worried. And, you all know that I am a big "saver" and very "resourceful". We will be fine! My prayer warriors out there can certainly keep this in their prayers though. Blessings to all till next time!

Sharing what I've learned that makes "Cents"
Life is challenging as we all know. These days, it's harder than ever to make ends meet and to let go of stress. So, I find good ways to stretch a dollar, as well as, enjoy life! I find daily ways to live happier and to thrive in a world that can often be challenging. Its always been very important to me that I help others along the way. After all, isn't that what life is about?
Keeping tabs on ways to afford the things that you need, and have a little left for those things you simply "want", is my mission. At the same time, I still leave room for spending quality time with the people and things I love, plus spreading joy when possible.
Hope I can help you in some way, as many others have done for me! Remember...try to always "pay it forward"!
