Some of it depends on the timing. I'm excited that so many at church are searching their hearts about the same needs at the same time . . . confirmation to me that this is where God is moving (at least some of) us.Susanhttp://www.goddessofthrift.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722654301083073697.post-83884829691021530412009-06-02T08:39:50.672-06:002009-06-02T08:39:50.672-06:00I didn't think you at all meant you had "arrived",...I didn't think you at all meant you had "arrived", but I think you have traveled this road longer and better than I! But you're right - this is all about DAILY self denial - it's about our hearts. There is so much joy in releasing our "stuff" to invest in the things that really matter. BTW...we are starting a class at church around The Hole In Our Gospel - talking about God's heart for the poor. We'd love to have you guys along for the ride!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684082406469270237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722654301083073697.post-42963151859031638702009-06-02T08:08:42.412-06:002009-06-02T08:08:42.412-06:00I don't want to imply in any way that we think we'...I don't want to imply in any way that we think we've "arrived" -- we haven't. But when Jesus talked about self-denial in Luke 9:23-23, he used the word "daily". I believe that, if we as Christians search our hearts to learn where Christ is calling us to daily self-denial, we can release resources which will change the world. We long to belong to a church which is changing the world . . . I am so thankful that you do, also!Susan Rodebushhttp://www.goddessofthrift.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722654301083073697.post-23287007335103523312009-06-01T21:36:51.317-06:002009-06-01T21:36:51.317-06:00I love it, Susan!!

I so appreciate that you have a goal to feed the poor with as much as you spend to feed yourselves. That sort of makes the "Love your neighbor as your self" part come to life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722654301083073697.post-17751283156052557092009-06-01T21:14:47.218-06:002009-06-01T21:14:47.218-06:00We budget $20.00/month to eat out, and $160.00/mon...We budget $20.00/month to eat out, and $160.00/month to feed 3 adults and our dog. By doing this, and other money-saving measures, we have more to share with the poor. Our goal is to continue to increase our giving...we would love to spend at least as much to feed the poor as we spend to feed ourselves. By choosing to limit our luxuries, we can vastly increase our resources to share with others. That is precisely why we do all the thrift stuff.Susan Rodebushhttp://www.goddessofthrift.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722654301083073697.post-580467481545494422009-06-01T06:22:57.593-06:002009-06-01T06:22:57.593-06:00Thanks friend. . .love you
