Mint is Awesome

  
Good day all,
Been awhile, so i was online looking for a money/finance app for my computer so that i can keep track of my money situation when i found this pretty amazing website that's....wait for it....FREEE!!!! yessoo, this site links to your bank account, sorts out all your transactions and let you know everything in a very beautiful way. You create budgets, goals(i really love this tool), and it tell you where all your money is going without you having to tell them.


It's safe because apparently, Mint uses the same 128-bit encryption and physical security that
banks use. Their practices are monitored and verified by TRUSTe,
VeriSign and Hackersafe, and supported by RSA Security.


I think this program can only be used in the United states and Canada, but i'm not sure.

Again, i will add that i was not paid to do this, i just like sharing cool things that i find that others might find useful as well.

Happy "Jesus Rose From the Dead" day. Chizzy D

For people who don't like to read, there is a solution!

Hey guys long time,
So I came on here because (as i stated in an earlier post ) I HATE to read. I have been struggling to read some of the most interesting books i know of. I think University did this to me because growing up, i loved to read.
Anywho,
I found the solution to my problem and i am soooo excited about it. I decided to share it with everyone because there may be others like myself who have been struggling.


The solution is: Audiobooks....yeps. I think i might be the last person to really get into audiobooks. There are different websites that offer this program.


I found out audible.com is offering some kind of deal right now(from an ad on hulu.com) to get two free books and free membership for 30days. You can delete your account anytime before the 30 days and not be charged anything. So i went on there and got a book and i'm very excited about it. I plan on listening to it on my ipod touch while working out and listening to it through my computer while sewing(new hobby that i will soon post about).


Nobody told me or paid me to do this post(i wish..lol), i just kinda think this tool is totally amazing.
Oh and here is the link to get two free books---->http://www.audible.com/hulu


Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

Be praying for blogger Kimvan, Japan and surrounding countries

 In the last 12 hours, Japan was hit with a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake (it the 5th-strongest in the world since 1900). It is reported that 32 people and counting have died. Pray that miracles happen today, that no more damage is done, that no more people die.

This is a reminder that this earth is not our home, stop treating it like it is. #Matthew 28:19-20

 I'm asking you to add Japan and surrounding regions in your Prayers today. Pray for the safety of fellow blogger, Kimvan, who currently lives in Northern Japan.




Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

My first time celebrating Lent, join me and World Vision!!!

 Good day all, 

I have never celebrated Lent before, but after coming across what World Vision is doing this year, i decided to join and you can too.  While looking through the program, i realized how spiritually beneficial it would be for me to partake in the "Lent 2011: Relentless Acts of Justice" online program that World Vision has set up. I truly encourage you to check it out.

 What is lent?
According to Wikipedia-------->Lent is a time of sacrifice for Jesus. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, repentance, alms giving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Preview of what is being planned by World Vision:
Week 1: We will experience worthlessness through a story about microfinance by going without something physical.
Week 2: We will experience helplessness through a story about malaria by feeling vulnerable.
Week 3: We will experience carelessness through a story about HIV and AIDS by feeling ostracized.
Week 4: We will experience godlessness through a story about religious persecution by limiting our own spiritual resources.
Week 5: We will experience speechlessness through a story about sex trafficking by giving up control and ownership over our lives.
Week 6: We will experience hopelessness through a story about education by feeling forgotten.

These people are not worthless, helpless, careless, Godless, speechless and hopeless
because it’s their fault. In fact, it may just be our fault that we do not actively bring
worth, help, care, God, speech and hope to them. It is imperative that we seek to
understand their lives. Only when we see the humanity and divinity in a stranger’s eyes
can we love them as Christ calls us to love them.  


 May God Bless you and I with Discomfort

May God bless you with discomfort. Discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. Amen

May God bless you with anger. Anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. Amen

May God bless you with tears. Tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy. Amen

May God bless you with foolishness. Enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. Amen

And the blessing of God, who creates, redeems and sanctifies, be upon you and all you love and pray for this day, and forever more. Amen

Coming up Sunday----> Week 1: We will experience worthlessness through a story about microfinance by going without something physical.

Have a blessed day. Chizzy D
