Month Eight

This is month eight of sacrifices. I dismally failed my laziness sacrifice in month seven. As I mentioned before finding stuff to cut when you have drastically changed your spending habits is difficult. I think I will go back to  the STARBUCKS fast. I will just have to extend my month till October 6th as I have indulged in this addiction of mine already this month. I don't spend as much on Starbucks as I used to. I have cut it in half since I started budgeting in July. Yet I still spend money there and will sacrifice my sweet cup of caramel goodness. This month the focus of live58 hasn't spoke to me. It's a challenge to the President to increase spending on foreign aid spent in the USA.  I truly believe our governments need to dedicate more funds to helping third world nations but as I am not an American, I am just not moved to donate to this cause ,however I will continue to pray for the movement and the work of Micah's challenge. I have recently been moved to donate to a friend's organization called Rays of hope for Uganda. He has built a school in Uganda and has the most amazing story. I have asked for him to write up his testimony for me that I will feature later this month. This man has a strong desire to help orphans in his community and had a strong calling from the Lord to start this school. They have started a sponsorship program to help these kids attend. Sponsorship is only $20/month. I will also feature some of those kids here once I receive their profiles. How many of us throw away this kind of money monthly? It's such a small amount to change a life of a little boy or girl in Uganda. If you are interested in sponsoring one of these cuties message me at atbbankergirl@yahoo.ca
