A choice
The swishing of the washer. The hum of the dryer. Haircut. Filling the refrigerator and pantry with food. Watching the gas gage rise to full. Sitting down to dinner at a restaurant. A cup of coffee at a local shop. The click of the keys while the wifi gives me the ability to pay bills online. A mere day of ordinary things that I cannot get out of my mind. Six months ago our financial status changed. It was a choice that we made as a family. It was something that we had six months to prepare for. It was something that we wanted to do in order for us to be closer to resources that could be transformative. We made a consequence decision for the health of our family and knew that our financial resources would decrease in the process, It hasn't been easy taking the pay cut. We have to make difficult decisions about what we are going to purchase/eat out/ save/ give to our church but the choice was ours. We had time to prepare. We have made cuts within our family budget.
