Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

money

in my marriage money was an issue.  a big issue.  always.  no matter how frugal i would be.  nor how spendy.  it just didn't matter.  i was always "in trouble".  the world was always coming to an end.  buying presents was practically taboo.  he caused guilt.  to all.  he was stingy.  he was without a giving heart unless it made him look good.  he just didn't give.  not from his heart.  not to me.
but, this weekend i heard that he gave one of our sons $500 towards buying a car.  and then he gave another $500 to the graduating son that doesn't speak with him.  the son is going to cash the check.  going to invest it.  but it is odd.
my son feels...bought.  but hey, it's a gift. ;)
i feel like he's showing off.
life can be a little confusing.
