Time to grow
In Proverbs 22:27 God challenged me to think about my life on a whole different level. I struggle with providing for my family. Or should I say, it concerns me that I am responsible to provide for my family. Monetary margin is critical. You need money to care for your loved ones; i.e. pay bills, pay mortgage, pay utilities, tithe (give money to support the church and its ministries), buy groceries, buy clothes, etc. Yet as I considered how I do that, I wonder what I am modeling to my children regarding the dangers of debt. I read that students do not know how credit cards work. I read that students in Australia are in debt by age 17. I wonder if I address the dangers of debt and if I teach how to remain with little or no debt as God intended (see link posted above).

"if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you."
