Ya know BarlowGirl? Ever listen to them? If you've been in some cave, they are 3 sisters from the Chicago -area. They rock. Hard. I mean....look at these faces? Too sweet to rock it like they do. Yet.......
Anywho - on lunch, I am listening to my multitude of mp3s, and BarlowGirl's "Million Voices" hits the shuffle. Listening to the lyrics, it helped me realize more of why I need to tithe. I don't give for me. I give for the next person. This entire path I am on is more that just me honoring Him and releasing my fears. It's me moving His mission forward. I'm a domino in one heck of a long chain. What I do affects me, and it also affects the next person.
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%.
