I do have some jurisdiction in making decisions on how to spend my husband's money--but am I truly being as wise as I can be? The question I have to ask myself is if I would buy the things I buy if my husband were shopping with me. The sad answer is no for at least 50% of the time. Which means at some level I am not being completely trustworthy. And even being unable to drive/run errands the past six months--I am not much better, when a computer click shops for me just as easily! My husband or son have to take me shopping now, which makes a big difference in my accountability, sadly. It shouldn't!<br /><br />Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153780460404779678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406899040134849729.post-28871078437470805542013-01-26T12:13:20.341-08:002013-01-26T12:13:20.341-08:00Ok, you might have broken your own record for &quo...Ok, you might have broken your own record for "longest post ever"!!<br /><br />I love (and cringe) at the idea of titling the spending journal "my husband's money". Ok, that really hurt!<br /><br />I am the one who takes care of the "books" in the family and as we all know, that sometimes means that we can spend without asking. Not like going out and buying a new couch and hoping he doesn't notice, but more like, buying some new makeup when I could have gone a little cheaper or waited a little longer. Or, buying a pizza for lunch instead of enduring another sandwich. <br /><br />I'm going to head over to Mrs. White's blog and read some of her testimonies about this and then repent:)<br /><br />Thanks for the great reminder about resolutions. They should really be about growing in the Lord and not in the flesh.<br /><br />Blessings to you:)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175369457303282525noreply@blogger.com
