Nov. 11

Nov. 11: I got a new job about two months ago around the same time that I moved into my new ward and started school. While I’ve been busy with school, making new friends, and going to work, I’ve been making money. Every Sunday so far I keep remembering that I really need to pay my tithing.

            Today I had had enough. My money was piling up, and my tithing amount that I needed to pay was getting so high that I was starting to think that I couldn’t afford to pay tithing. That was a ridiculous thought because really, my tithing money isn’t my money at all, and if I had paid it right when I had received all that money in the separate increments of time they came, I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed now. I knew it was really important to pay the amount of tithing I was supposed to pay, and that I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t. Even though it wasn’t easy, I paid the full amount of tithing today and did it with integrity.
