The Summer of 7: Spending

July 7, 2012 by Amy

Spending week is messing with my head.

The week as a whole has not been hard.  Books went on my wish-list instead of my Kindle.  Nothing else was a temptation because I stayed home the entire week. 

Seriously, I don’t think I’ve been anywhere this week except picking up groceries, which I had allowed as a spending item, and meeting and eating dinner with our fearless Summer of 7 leader Katrina (she’s just as wonderful in person as online). 

I had planned for the next two weeks to be breaks since birthday weeks are here but I think I’m just going to keep going with spending until it quits messing with my head.

I have a deep belief that God is not one of confusion and he wants to give me wisdom.  But I also believe we have to seek and knock at the door.  So I’m going to keep doing that until he answers.   I have so many things running around in my head but every time I write, it’s a jumbled mess (other than Waterfall purchases).  Perhaps he’s waiting to show me something at our yard sale next week that was postponed.  I don’t know.  Just know I’m seeking him and thinking about you and how all of us can learn.  I know he has me doing this publicly for a reason.  Not to show off, but to pass on. So, if you would, pray with me that I’ll get clarity.  In the meantime, I hope you’re having a great weekend and check out more Spending posts below.

    Fearless? I wish. 🙂 Thanks for a yummy dinner and a great conversation. I am starting no spending week this week too and I’m just not sure what to expect since I THINK I’m not addicted to spending; however, that is what I thought about make-up and we’ve seen how well that went down. 😉 PS: Your garden. I’m so jealous. I won’t even pretend anything else. If we run out of food from no spending, I’m coming over to pick your crops. 😉
