Child of the one true KING!






This isn't about travel but here is a song I heard on the radio just yesterday. It has some powerful lyrics. The devil has used these tactics on every single one of us. He tells us lies to try to make us stumble. He wants us to have regrets. He wants us to think poorly of ourselves. He wants us to feel defeated.

But fear NOT, because God is more powerful! And he sent his son Jesus to overcome this world. We have authority over Satan because of Jesus! I am saved and I am a child of the one TRUE King! God doesn't care what you may have done in the past. No batter what it is, you are not too far from grace! You cannot out sin the grace of God. Isn't it amazing? Things can change in an instant once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Below are some scriptures about what God wants for us to overcome the enemy:
  •  "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." - James 4:7
  • "Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."  -Ephesians 6:10-11
  • "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.  It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,  while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,  who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." - Titus 2:11-14
  • "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4
  • "In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." - Ephesians 6:16
  •  "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." - Luke 10:19

Check Your Credit Scores

There are ways of getting your credit scores that most people know about, but it isn't free. If you want to be able to check your scores for free, I have a couple of options for you. I use both to check my scores monthly to make sure everything is going good and I am keeping up my good credit. The two places to check them are: Credit Karma Credit Sesame   They both also have Iphone apps for easy access if you want to check them on the go. Both are 100% free and I have been using them for almost a year now. Ever since I started churning cards a year ago my credit has fluctuated about 10 points up or down which isn't a lot and not what the average person would think. Getting credit cards and earning miles and points in the process can actually help build your credit score! Have no fear!

A Four Day Weekend in Northern California for $100

Image
This past weekend I took a trip to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, California. The flight, hotels and rental car only cost me $100 total and it could have ended up being a lot less! I used American Airlines miles to fly from New Orleans to San Francisco. This usually costs 25,000 miles and $10 in taxes and fees if you book before 21 days of departure. Also, if you have a Citibank American Air credit card you receive a 10% refund of points used. So it only "cost" me 22,500 points to take this flight. I didn't book before 21 days of departure so I had to pay a $75 late fee to book, which is a bummer, bringing my total amount paid for the flight to $85. Still not bad at all for a flight that would normally cost anywhere from $300-500+ depending on when you go and when you book.

Day Tripping: Orvieto

Image
There are quite a few day trips you can take if you're based in Rome on vacation. You can head south to Naples, Pompeii (Mt. Vesuvius) or the Amalfi coast. You'll want to spend more than a day around the mountainside/seaside towns along the Amalfi coast though. Save a few days to explore this stunningly beautiful part of Italy. If you head east, you can visit Tivoli where you'll see two famous villas. Villa Adriana is the former emperor Hadrian's huge estate during the 2nd Century and Villa d'este, the Renaissance era estate with lavish gardens. Head north and you can check out the city of Florence or Pisa which also falls into the basket of 'you should stay a few days here.' But a gem halfway to Florence and a perfect day trip in Tuscany lies the quaint town of Orvieto. Orvieto funicular via Orvietoviva.com A popular destination only about 75 miles north of Rome lies this beautiful, serene hilltop town (It actually sits on a large, flat butte of v
