And then I grew up.
It is hard to give away money when your house is worth less than what you bought it for, you work for a giant bank whose stock went from $30 to $60 to $4 in the time you have worked there, and you have two kids who will probably cost a few houses to put through college.
Ok, so maybe giving money away wasn't my calling. So what is my vocation? Esther's falls into her lap in this chapter (in a horrible, biblical way). I wonder if mine will be as obvious and whether I am living it out or I have yet to begin?
I get to talk about money again this weekend. =) I'm wondering if a successful stewardship campaign wouldn't mirror our 3 fold approach right now: connecting, communicating, and creating a plan with finance that talks about both sides of the budget. You may have been placed on the call committee, stewardship, mutual ministry, and NCD for such a time as this...
