Why?
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%.

Make an Impact...change the world
Impact has arrived. And yeah - so have I, back here. Been far too long, and far too.....poorly.... in my finances. We are still struggling with our money and struggling with being good stewards with what we have been given. We are getting closer to being budgeted, but it seems that we are constantly trying to catch up to that point, only to get knocked back because of a car issue, home issue (it's the clothes washer right now) or any of a hundred things. These are no means an excuse; just simply what we are running into and battling with. If anything, it's an internal struggle; a mindset change that I am having a tough time handling, and quite frankly - accepting.
And for Impact, Kath and I had a hard time making that commitment. What we know is best vs. what we (I) have handled money in the past. It was the battle of the century - The Thrilla in Manila, so to speak. But the last message floated like a butterfly and stung us both like a bee, even though she was down in the service and I was serving in the booth. We were both touched with the some financial number, so we put in on the card and made our two year commitment to the community and the world. The following day, Kath was told they would like her to put in more hours at work (something she has desired since the school year began). The increase in time/pay calculates out to just a little more than our monetary commitment.
Our God is awesome!
