WE ATE OUR HOUSE!

After a few quick calculations last night, I came to the conclusion that we ate our house.

For about 3 years we frequented several restaurants every single weekend. In fact, we had servers who knew our orders by heart--our very large orders. During those years we didn't even give a passing thought to how much we spent on food (or how many multiple thousands of empty calories we were consuming, but that's a whole 'nother post.)

Ready for the grand 3-year total?

$12,000.

((insert Psycho music, because that's what we were))

How is that eating our house? I'm glad you asked.

You see, we've had our place for sale for over a year now. If we had another $12,000 banked we could lower our price that much more and get out of here.

It sickens my heart, knowing how much we spent on that which was fleeting. I'm SO thankful we woke up (several years ago, in fact) and stopped spending willy nilly on eating out. If only we'd stopped sooner! It makes me think, what might we be doing right now that we'll look back on someday and regret?

Today--praying for wisdom, and for God to redeem the time.

Have you ever looked back and majorly regretted a decision/decisions? Are you walking in wisdom today?
