Leap of Faith: Debt

Thursday, March 1, 2007

Debt

We owe, we owe. Its off to work we go.

Its time to pay the piper. I have collected a list of debtors, and we are going to pay off. Its something I have been putting on the back burner way too long. Its not a huge amount, less that $3000, I'm sure. Still, it needs to be delt with.

During our Marriage Retreat, one of the sermons was how to be "Stewards of God". Take control of our finances and act responsibly. Protect our resources.

This is one of my MAJOR struggles. I shop when I am bored. I shop on impulse. I obsess about a certain thing and won't calm down until I get it. Sure, there are lots of underlying issues that contribute to this obsessive behavior, no denying that. I have issues, so what. *sticks out tongue* Trying to fill a void? yep Trying to make myself feel better with material things? yep

I have to change. I will change. Things wont make me happy. I am chasing the wind.
