When budgets are made

Aha...finally a great solution to decreasing debt, control spending and having more oversight on ones finances...a BUDGET. Yes, we, Andrew and I, have had a "budget lifestyle" for as long as I can remember and it has been a blessing throughout the years. Just to know what you have, what you spend and what you have left is a great knowledge in this busy life. So, I had made a budget for august, all nice and orderly...and then Andrew prayed and God said to him to give a gift to someone.."there goes my budget for august" was my first thought...right after that my second thought was" wow...did I just think that, forgive me lord and help me to crucify my flesh". Isn't that how it often is, we think we have everything organized...all of our ducks in a row and here comes God and it seems He messes everything up....but actually He is setting you up for great blessings and He gently points out some flaws in your character along the way. Yes, continue to budget your time and your finances, there is nothing wrong with structure and oversight...but be ready to be flexibel when God comes and directs some changes in your budget so it will reflect His budget for the week or month..maybe even your life. Have a blessed day!!
