Oh, how I love Sundays. I haven't been home from church long, and I'm sitting in front of a cozy fire, coffee in hand, while my soup simmers in the kitchen and I'm surrounding myself with happy thoughts. One thought I have is this: Men in Carhartt overalls are really sexy, I just had to throw that out there, because my husband has his on right now. He wears them on cold days like today, because he is basically a lumberjack on the weekends. He single-handedly keeps up 60 acres of land, mostly woods, and we are still cleaning up from Hurricane Irene, which hit back in August. His Carharrt overalls are brown, and i like em! Aside from that thought, I am sitting here reflecting on today's sermon about tithing. Man, I hate talking about money... It is a sermon that is preached every few months, and it makes me squirm every time. I know that 10% is the minimum amount of money we are commanded to give, and I respect that, but it doesn't make it easy. And I know it's not supposed to BE easy, that's the point. There have been periods in my life where I've tithed very faithfully and I trusted God and I witnessed all the blessings He promises us in the Bible. Mostly I witnessed financial blessings. I know God keeps His promises. I guess that's all I can really say about this topic, because I know what I need to be doing, and I know what my struggles are. I work, Corey works, and we are not rich by any means, but we have what we need, and we are able to provide for our children. My basic problem is organization and keeping track of expenses and paying bills on time to avoid late fees. It's ridiculous, because I HAVE the money but just go all scatterbrained and forget to pay stuff when it's due.
I'm trying not to think about the things I need to get done today, which include grocery shopping, P90X, and doing my notes for work. I can get my notes knocked out in no time (I obviously love to write), and I'm kind of excited that Day 4 of P90X is YOGA!!!, so those tasks are not as daunting as the fact that I need to get groceries. We are seriously out of EVERYTHING. I always let it get to this point for some reason. And of course, it's supposed to snow today, and in some places it's already started.... And of course, I shop at WALMART of all places (to save $), and so it's going to be even more of a zoo than it normally is. I just want to sit here in front of the fire and take a nice, long nap and forget about all the other stuff, except for my sexy husband in his Carhartt overalls. Is that too much to ask?
