Last month my Dad gave me $600. That seems like a lot of money, and for a college student, it is! Out of my "allowance" far this past month $580 went towards a school payment, and the rest went toward other basic necessities...like toilet paper. I really don't feel as though I spent my money unwisely seeing as money was tight even with $600 in the bank. Sometimes I wish that I could put 20 bucks in the offering plate as it passes by but there wasn't enough flexibility for me to be able to do that. Although I can't give a consistent sum to God in the form of money every week, I try to tithe with other things...like my time or the resources that I do have. In doing these things I think that my heart is in the right place and I'm doing it as worship. I don't think that choosing to spend money on school says anything bad about my priorities with God, because I'm trying to glorify him with my schoolwork and trying to stay in the mission field that he has called me to, which is ETBU and the surrounding areas.
