Last weekend, at church, we had a guest worship leader. Jon Baur. At the end of service, he had CD's for sale. I didn't buy one, I couldn't afford it. He also challenge everyone, to choose a card of a child to sponsor for $36 something dollars a month. I didn't even look, definetly couldnt afford that.
Now, this same month, let me tell you some things that I could afford:
an $85 purse
a $22 matching wallet
$187 of clothes for me (on sale)
$120 of clothes for my kids (on sale)
about $100 + of eating out
about $25 + of dollars here and dollars there
..........................and thats just off the top of my head.
..............it just doesn't make any sense.

About Me

- I am a single mom of four beautiful kids. This blog is to record my daily walk with Jesus. I became a Christian a few years ago. Since, I have had many struggles, but many more praises and answered prayers. During my struggles I am quick to forget my answered prayers, and during each busy day I am easy to not notice my blessings. I want to pay close attention to how God works so personally in my life and remember to give thanks to him always.

Girl you are so honest...I didn't look either I am sure I could have found the money also. Thanks for the reminder.
Don't you worry. . .we will have the opportunity to sponsor the kids in Uganda in April and were actually hoping that not a lot would respond to that particular plea so that they'd be able to sponsor the kids at "our' orphanage!
I LOVE your honesty. . .loved your last comment. I ended up needing to blog again just to process it.

I love your honesty too! Way to not hold back.
send Jon Baur a note and let him know how much you enjoyed his service to God.
Pray for him as he travels.
next time u can, share his music or itunes link with someone who may have never heard of him.
there are lots of kids in this world to sponsor. i don't consider them ours or theirs...
I consider them HIS and he will call you to help one of HIS choosing regardless of who's running the show.
Blessings
