My wallet and my heart

Jesus spoke often about money during his time on Earth. Money is what makes the world go 'round. I've somewhat worshiped money all my life. It wasn't money for the sake of money, but has always been one kind of toy or another. Tithing seemed unimportant to me growing up.

When Casey and I first started dating, we were tithing like we should have been (funny thing about really connecting with a church!). She changed jobs and we no longer had the money to do so. We have given a little bit here and there as we have been able to. With the upcoming financial issues we're preparing for, we wanted to start tithing again. Last week we gave some (not what we are asked, but what we were able). This week we had even less to give. We had settled on an amount on the way to church, and were going to trust that we would be provided with the money to make it until next Friday. When we got to church, a fellow church member cornered Casey and wrote us a check (a very belated wedding gift). That really made our day, and gave us the ability to give our full tithe.

Trusting God to provide for us through the current and coming struggles is difficult, but we're trusting Him one M&M at a time. The great part about the 'Wait' series we're hearing in church right now, is that God is faithful and is showing us on a daily basis that what PK is saying is totally true. God has blessed us so much, and that just helps us to become closer to Him.
