Expensive

This past weekend I went to Jacksonville to celebrate my mom's birthday. As usual, we spent most of my vist at the mall and Target. I hardly ever go to the mall in Birmingham but for some reason when my mom, sister and I get together that is where we always go. Funny thing was, though, I couldn't bring myself to spend any money.

One of my favorite things to do while in Florida (especially right before football season) has always been to buy a new Gator shirt at Football Fanatics. We went there and I saw a really cool Denver Broncos shirt with "15" on it that was nearly $30. Normally I could easily justify spending $30 on a Tebow shirt because, "I will wear it all the time." Seriously. I wear Gator and Tebow stuff year round. But spending $30 for a tee shirt, even if it's a Tebow one, is excessive to me now. It became a joke because every price tag I looked at I said, "expensive." I'm not saying I won't ever buy something nice and expensive for myself again, but I'm having a much more difficult time justfiying it now. 

The problem is, how do you buy this?......

When all you can think about is this?......

God didn't bless me with money so I could buy $30 tee shirts. He blessed me with money to take care of  His people, the poor, orphans and widows.
