Hello again. It's been over a year. Just stopping by.
I recently transitioned from Intern to Contractor status at my company. And with that came a nice big salary bump, more commensurate with my level of education and experience. This has brought my wife and I some more freedom in terms of buying things; especially things that I've been eyeing for awhile like the new Kindle and a more grown-up looking wardrobe...haha. But combined with purchasing our first home, I see very clearly how easy it can be to spend so much so quickly. We feel guilty sometimes that we are able to have so much. So I really hope (I guess I should also be deliberate in making sure) that these things will somehow be beneficial to the care of my family, the credibility of my testimony of God's joy in my life, and to the community of believers and non-believers in our lives.
We've been blessed. So we want to be a blessing to others. Which means...when our apartment is ready, people should come and visit and hangout with us! =)
