my 2011 GOAL is to donate to Feed My Starving Children by giving up the unnecessary luxuries in my life. Example, going out to eat less, less Starbucks, and less everything else. Every time I would have purchased something I don't really need, I'll give that money instead. And doing this blog will really help to hold me accountable. $1 donated to FeedMyStarvingChildren=4 meals (3.917 to be exact)

$12
for yesterday and today. I'll try to write something more inspiring soon. we'll see. Otherwise, this is really helping to hold me accountable. I've made it through more than half a year. I just wish I'd done better with the Starbucks. But I'm happy with the getting rid of Jimmy Johns and bringing lunch.

no Jimmy Johns = $5. But I did have a $2 Starbucks for lunch. However, I really wanted one when I was driving in this morning and didn't get it.

Oh, but I've almost finished Randy Alcorns "Managing God's Money" and I highly, highly recommend it. There have been so many good points in there. Plus, it's a Tyndale book :)

I returned another item that was from birthday money. A sweater to anthropology. I didn't really need it. I liked it, but didn't love it. So I'm feeling much better about the money going to Feed My Starving Children. Especially after looking at all of the Somalia images.

No Jimmy Johns yesterday (Wednesday), but I did do Starbucks.
Thursday (today) I went to lunch with my coworkers, to Jimmy Johns. But it was a special occasion so felling ok about that.

been out of town
to visit my mom. So I haven't done anything savings wise in the last few days. I haven't been bad, but nothing I can say I didn't do that I would have otherwise.
