This might just be the first time in my life I have money to spare and spend. It is so alien to me that it is somewhat overwhelming. I have so many options now, so many doors I can open. Like subscribing to a good magazine, or investing in a solid pair of black flats. Or finding something I really REALLY like that isn't on the clearance rack and not feeling completely guilty for buying it. None of which I have done yet, though.
But through all the chaos that is [but not limited to] American consumer materialism, I thank the Lord for the blessing of expendable income. Because without it I wouldn't be able to treat great friends to great meals with great conversations. Or support an incredible couple serving God in Afghanistan, or partner with a lovely lady in sharing love and grace to prostitutes in Kuala Lumpur.
I'm not entirely sure why God chose now for me to have money but I'm grateful and learning.
Pax.
You're a better person than me.
