This week is a no-pay week in my household, so I will not be making any drop in the bag this week.
The budget is going well. The past week was a catch-up week (which I think next week will be as well), so the budget is not active yet. I predict it running in March and we will be diligent in following it then.
Until then, I must say this past week is going well. Surprised to see the bank account at the level it is at. Something must be wrong. I had to have forgotten something. We couldn't be blessed or anything, right? :) In seriousness, I will go back through the bills. I do believe I may have forgotten to pay someone.
Why?
So what is this all about? Well, for many years, I have wanted to honor God with my finances, but have struggled with how to do it. I have always had a reason why I can't this pay period or why we shouldn't give this week. It's really a control thing of mine - fear of something going wrong, being short in the checking account, or any of 100 other reasons.
But I need to be part of the mission. So I have started giving something consistently, and trust that God will bless me for being a joyful giver. This is my journey towards giving 10%.
