wishing for better

As I was driving by a quaint little area of housing. I found myself wishing for a house of my own with two cars in the driveway. A nice and caring husband who was Godly and took care of everything. Wow after I realized that I was having this nice pretty little pity party, and that I was the only guest. I said a prayer of thanks that God is in control and He is my Godly husband. That he takes care of my needs and the needs of my children. Then I also prayed that someday I would be worthy to be someones wife. He has a plan for me and my family. I just need to sit back and watch him work wonders in my life. That's why wishing for better when I already have it is unneccessary.

Unnecessary Spending

So, I just came out of fasting for three days.

God put it on my heart that fasting unnecessary spending was the best course for me.

Well, today was the first day I unnecessarily spent money.

I bought McDonald's for my six year old son at the mall. He wanted to hold his own bag- I totally support responsibility- he was going to eat it at home. When we got to the car he no longer had his cheeseburger happy meal. :(

I wanted to make it better for him by getting another one.

However: 1. My son needed that lesson in responsibility. 2. It was money I shouldn't have spent.

Jesus is so faithful to remind me to be diligent in my spending and diligent in raising my child.
