first let me say sorry for no post yesterday.....power was out and by the time we got it back I was just too frustrated to do anything.....
OK..I have heard many many many peoples opinions on tithing and and have never really gave what I should....I will throw a few bucks in here and there bu never sat down and looked at what I can afford to give and then done it....until now.....I was going over our budget with my wife the other night and we figured out what we SHOULD be giving....so we have decided to do so but here is the catch....we are going to need close to 8,000$ to move to Houston in June and with everything we have been doing to get out of debt, plus b-days and Christmas as well as current bills etc...we have 0$ in savings....we need to save roughly 1,500 a month (plus our tax return and some cash we had set aside for other things that we are now diverting to the moving fund) in order to make it....
So you see what I'm getting at here.....I am giving money to the church when I should be saving every penny I earn in order to make my goal.....so why am I doing this? well 1 its what the bible says I should do....and 2 I have faith that if we are supposed to be there GOD will get us there....and 3 this is going to make for a great testimony...I mean if I am giving 10% or better to church and I still get to where I feel we should be going....how can anyone refute that story....I am putting faith in the fact that the lord wants me there and that he will open a door for us to be able to do it.....If that doesn't happen....well life will get a bit hectic for a while since almost all of my eggs are in this basket but I feel like this is a great chance for GOD to show me, my family, and any who are paying attention that he does provide all we need to do is trust in him.....I will revisit this at least once a week to let everyone know how its going....I'm looking forward to watching great things happen.
