This is awesome. I was going on with life when all this expensive stuff happened. Then I was like, what? How can I pay off debt when big expenses keep coming? Kenzie's teeth: $2,000; Septic Tank: $600; Tires $400; washing machine: $200. So then I started thinking... I must be doing something wrong. I'm not able to tithe because I can't manage the money we have now, so maybe that is it. Maybe if I were tithing, God would pay my debt. How do I give my finances over to God? I annoyed my paster all day on facebook asking this question until he finally passed me off to a financial advisor. And then the big stuff happened. I talked to my husband about stuff and we went through the whole, "Do you really need a candle?" Well, do you really need a toilet? You can pee in the grass, right? Do you really need black skinny jeans? Do you really need... He doesn't get anything but absolute necessities! I lost.
And then God reminded me of a stash of books a friend gave me nine months ago to keep my mind off of the stress of moving. One of those books was titled something about shopping. So I ran upstairs to find it, and there it was. "Addicted to Shopping and other issues Women Have With Money." God had me and my situation sorted 9 months before I knew about it. I blew that book off thinking, that will bore me to death. And now it is speaking to my soul, calming me, dressing my wounds, peeling off dead skin, healing, repairing. 9 months ago, my God was thinking of me and he knew I would need this book. And he provided it for me 9 months in advance, kept it from getting lost, and reminded me about it. Think I need to break out in a little song right now.
