I volunteer speak to my and nearby churches, mostly to the youth. <br /><br />You are truly blessed because I have about 5 tops and 5 jeans. I pretty much give every penny I make back to my church. I'm still young but my kids tell me I dress like I'm an old lady :). Maybe an article on how even God's servants can get an IRA....would be great!<br />Love your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-11196454972744200122009-11-19T17:25:16.050-08:002009-11-19T17:25:16.050-08:00Bianca, is there something wrong with your blog?

Okay, ...OUCH!!! I'm totally spanked by truth. <br /><br />Okay, okay, it's true. Honda's are GREAT cars, durable cars, efficient cars. All true! <br /><br />But living in LA is the worst kind of life game: Envy&Want (deluxe edition)! <br /><br />Just to let you all know, I'm not buying a new car anytime soon :) I've gotta pay off school loans, create a roth IRA, continue with my retirement fund, and buy a house. Maybe I'll revisit the car issue then. But as for now, humble living rocks.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148305912197192593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-60880915757450428682009-11-17T07:17:49.358-08:002009-11-17T07:17:49.358-08:00I totally needed this reminder.

I find if I spend less time with my nose in a fashion mag or my feet in a dept store and more time on blogs like Compassion Int, Kisses from Katie, or LOve Without Boundaries, I am better able to distinguish between necessities and luxuries. And recently I learned that, for me, a modern, brushed nickel dishsponge holder for my kitchen was indeed a LUXURY even at just $14!!!!

I've not been given bad things, mind you. Just not the things I planned on. It's honestly a daily struggle for me (<i>mask slowly being removed</i>) and I don't like that I'm STILL working through it. Thankfully, my Daddy has patience with me and will always be there to remind me that He really is all I need, but that He's going to still work in some of the desires of my heart too. Just 'cuz He loves me! :0) So, bring on the NCAA (for me!) and bring on the Louis V (for my BB!)!!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625409407751494921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-47263130693167975202009-11-16T13:58:24.899-08:002009-11-16T13:58:24.899-08:00yep....insert long sigh here...
i can look back ...yep....insert long sigh here... <br /><br />i can look back on my walk and see the various "themes" of different spiritual seasons...and right now is the season to know, taste, see, hear, dwell, live in God's provision. Thank you for this awesome scripture...We are desparately holding on to our "honda" and it's leather seats and wood trim and 5 cd disc changer and "open doors presto chango" features. Holding on with all our might but realizing that we just can't afford it at this time...ahhhh....<br /><br />But God gave me a promise this weekend: Psalms 37:25, "I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread." Imagine to live a life so complete and to say with confidence, God has always provided. To say, I have never gone without. It's a hard lesson we are learning...especially coming from a person who NEVER checked the bank account and spent, spent, spent! :) Now I am learning that spending is a spiritual descision because everything I have is God's and His alone. I'm just the manager of the books, the steward of His wealth. Am I going to the store and praying, "Dear God, which head of lettuce is for me???" Um, not so much...but just about! If am asking God to provide for us, I need to be willing to treat his money like it's His...and for now, it means walking past the doors of anthropologie...<br /><br />Yes, insert sigh here!
