“It’s Time to Do Budget”

Since taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University course in 2017, Conoon and I have been budgeting and have budgeting meetings at the end of every month.  The meetings kind of go like this:

Conoon: It’s time to do budget.

Suzy: NooooooOOOoooOOOoooo

Conoon: Okay, so this month we spent blah blah blah, next month we blah blah blah blah….

Suzy: OoOOOoooookay are we done yet?

Every. Single. Time.  Conoon is CLEARLY the nerd in our relationship and I am the FREE SPIRIT, which means he has 15 minutes to get me through these budget meetings and if they go longer than that, I totally zone out and my body language does. not. lie.

But get this.  To my HORROR, starting July, Conoon put me in charge of our budgeting meetings.  Like I have to call the meeting and lead it!!!!  UGhhhh.  Okay, I was good at math in high school, but omg anything related to finances (except for me spending) is snoooooze-ville for me.  But because I love being a good wife, I agreed.

And because I am a good wife, I need a good husband, which means he is to refer to me as “Budget Lord” when our budget meetings are in session.

This post has been brought to you by insomnia the night before our next scheduled budget meeting.

Goodnight.

Perfect Love

“Wait until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with Me alone, with giving yourself totally, unreservedly to Me alone. I love you my child. But until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the Perfect Human Relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another as you deserve to be until you are united with Me, exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any desire or other belongings.

I want you to stop planning and stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan that exists – one that you can’t imagine. I want you to have the very best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Just keep your eyes on Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must be patient. Don’t be anxious. Don’t worry. Don’t look around at the things others have. Don’t look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking to Me, or you will miss what I want to give you. And then when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you can imagine. You see, until you are ready, and the one I have for you is ready… until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won’t be able to experience that love that exemplifies your relationship with Me… and this is Perfect Love.”
