Faith and FI

I didn’t grow up in Church, even though I’m from “The Bible Belt”. I didn’t really start looking for religion until my son was born. As a gazed down at my perfect infant human being 5 weeks early and still perfectly healthy, I thanked God for his work. I knew I had been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. I was very adamant that I did not want kids up until I got pregnant. That changed in an instant. As I grew as a parent, I wanted my son to understand the blessing I felt he was. I started searching for a church. In a blink of the eye I had been attending the the same Church for 2 years. Soon after I was asked to lead Vacation Bible School. That led to being asking to the the treasurer. That led me to ask about tithes. I was very honest about my goal to reach FI, my “discretionary” money is going to consumer debts. They understand and support. I prayed and decided to make tithes/offerings a monthly bill. It may delay my FI date, but I find it’s worth it for the peace I feel helping support the foundation of my faith!
