Between services right now here in Shorewood. Thought I'd throw a quick post about my promise and faith in God. This week, we received both my bi-weekly employment check as well as a little bit o' money the government has been hoarding from us. Ok - we just overpaid them and they are giving it back. But doesn't "hoarding" sound like a fun thing to blame the government in doing? Plus, maybe someone will pick up this post and run with it, and then we can start some wacky conspiracy theory. That would be awesome.
Anyhow...$170.15 this week. Technically, it was 14 cents, but I did the fun and exciting "round up" routine I learned years ago in grammar school. Who would have ever thought that would come in handy? Now, to find a way to use my knowledge of "I before E except after C"....
(side note - holy cow...there's a Wikipedia listing on "I before E except after C"????? Gotta love the innerweb.)
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%.
