Starbucks

     As a commitment (and cash savings) to financial freedom to do what God has planned for me, I gave up my Starbucks habit in October. This was not easy and I missed my coffee treats very much. The word says seek first the kingdom of God and your needs shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33). Actually Matthew 6:31 even says not to worry about what you will drink! God is such a faithful deliverer of promises and a generous dad! I had a free Starbucks for my Birthday in December. Then, in January, I was gifted a $15 gift card to Starbucks for Christmas.
   

 I have trusted in the Lord and have been faithful to cultivate my faithfulness. I have been diligent using my finances to seek first the kingdom of God and he is giving me the desires of my heart (and tummy,) see Psalms 37:3-4. Only about a week after my Christmas gift card ran out, a $25 gift card to Starbucks was left in my seat at church! What is even more amazing about this is that God is asking his other children to be faithful in blessing his daughter (me!) This means that there will be showers of blessings on those people for their obedience!!  I can not begin to explain the Joy this has been bringing me let alone the encouragement that dedication to my King would result in anything other than being treated like a Princess!
