Month one

This is what I gave up for month number one:

I was shocked to find out that I spend about $50 a month on my delish

grande caramel macchiato. I didn't realize how much I missed my coffee. 

Every time I had a craving, I would think about the featured ministry. That month was  food relief  in Kenya for the drought that happened recently in the Horn of Africa. Think about it, I can give up this little sacrifice if it means someone can eat a meal for a day. They don't have the luxury of a treat. They are masking their hunger by eating dirt. Every time a pang hit me, I would pray for Kenya and the thousands of people dying of starvation and soon my craving would dissipate. It really was such a small sacrifice to help feed a person.
