There is a dichotomy of feeling that I experience when I post here.
Because my Jesus fund keeps adding up.
I feel a combination of shame over the spending I didn't think twice about before as well as a sense of excitement that simply skipping a few things adds up so fast!
Lastest skips - Tim Hortons and a cake pop pan.
I used to drop Little Miss off at school and run to Tim Horton's. "Yes. I'll have an extra large tea with sugar and 2 fruit explosion muffins."
"That will be $4.36."
$4.36 no more.
Three times a week, at least, and we're looking at nearly $13 a week. That adds up fast.
The thing is, I'm finding my mentality is changing through this. The desire to go to Tim Horton's every time I drop her off is no longer there. Does that mean I stop counting it every week?
I'm not sure.
Either way its a good thing. It means that the Jesus fund is not something that is temporary, (although I have a feeling that the accrual of it will slow as this goes on). The Jesus fund is a heart change that I'm experiencing.
And I'm glad for that.
Any simple luxuries you've given up lately? Please share. Because at this moment, I'm longing for a fruit explosion muffin. :)
