A new year of sacrifices

Last year I started this journey of giving something up every month to enable myself to share more with others in need. This year I wanted to try something different. I read about this in Donald Miller's book Blue Like Jazz. One of his friends decided not to purchase any new clothing for a year. I really wanted to attempt this in 2013. This is a sacrifice because I am not only going to give up clothing for me but my nieces. If you knew me that is huge. I buy 5 beautiful little girls an outfit every birthday, Easter and Christmas. I haven't figured out the numbers yet of what type of savings that translates into but with just giving up the girls outfits that's about $300 per year. Look for more posts to where that money will be poured into. What are you giving up this year to help others in need?
