The topic is pretty interesting too! Nick created this form, using google docs, to organize and track our spending. I was just thinking today how recording what I spend really makes me think about my purchases more. We’re so thankful because God has blessed us with a lot and we want to take that seriously and be wise with what He trusts us with. We’ve been going to First Baptist and the pastor there always reminds us that heaven is not in a recession. (But boy is it clear that the economy is changing! The news is really hard to watch!) It’s a challenge but a relief to believe that all we have is actually God’s and that He’ll still take care of us even when we learn the hard way that we can’t rely on money. Nick and I were talking about how if you look at money as your god, it’s really failing you, so it’s good to have a faithful God.

Back to Nick’s big break: I know there are lots of ways to keep track of finances, but so far this has really worked for us! Here’s the link in case you want to check it out:
