Back to basics

August 12th, 2006 at 07:29 pm

I feel like things are not in great control around here. I feel like everytime I blink I am spending money. Is it back to school woes or just paying so many bills in one day! Was it listening to my favorite talk radio Saturday morning financial programs that got my dander up???? Not sure but I need to ponder a bit it. My gas bill was up alot from last I guess not as much as last year...but still ---it seemed way too high.
I was out and about with my oldest daugher picking out a Birthday gift for her to give her friend.....when I saw a nice fall purse I loved for only $9.99...as we shopped around I KNEW I HAD TO PUT THAT PURSE BACK!!! I was proud of myself I could resist some temptation....not all others, but I did make a choice and put the purse down.
Choices......

Today I went to my son's soccer game. Of course my ex was there with some of his family. I had a choice go over and say hi....they and I have not spoken in three years. I made a choice....no sit with my friends and do not bother saying anything to them. I felt a little uncomfortable but I am able to make a choice. Choices abound all over.....I often second guess my self over choices...I feel quilty or confident....at times I feel nervous over choices...many times I feel so good about a choice I am almost giddy with glee. Choices abound with money and our budgets......one day we feel confident and at times we feel we have lost the way. Balance is the key in everything.

    yes I will save much more when we are in school......but I will miss having them around to hang out with. I know at times I get overwhelmed with the money at hand and not at hand. Each day I am learning and growing in my faith that all things work together for good!

    In church today we learned to use our FUREONS--that is using both faith and our nuerons in our brains. It was a good lesson. We can't walk around saying I will spend and spend and God will take care of the debt and my retirement...no we have to be wise stewards and humbly walk in much wisdom and allow God to work thru us and what we do. It really inspired me today. To be a wise steward in all that I do-and to not get looking at others who have more......but to evaluate myself..
