Everywhere you go, everything you do, everything you hear is about our suffering economy.

We are taking a Dave Ramsey course on Wednesday nights. It has been so great having a plan for our finances. It is exciting to be eliminating debt and building our savings. I love paying cash for everything. We have learned so much in the past 6 weeks. I am a detailed person so I like having everything in it's place. We have been able to teach our children the same principals. I believe it honors God when we are being good stewards of our money (just like our health-but that's for another day!).

Everything we have is Gods...our money, our health, our children, our marriage. What's interesting is that we can be so neglectful in realizing that every choice we make regarding these areas is our act of worship to Him. It will change your whole perspective on life when you are living a life of worship. It's not that you are making decisions in a legalistic kind of way but in a way that says you want to honor God in your choices. It's a "here's all of me" kind of attitude.

So what can I do today about the economy? Blame the president? Blame Americans for being ignorant? Feel hopeless? Be fearful? I don't like what's going on in the economy either. However, Jesus paid quite a price for us to trust Him completely. I refuse to get entangled in fear over something God is in complete control of. Today I choose to trust in His provision and live as many moments as possible as an act of worship! ...Romans 12:1
