Upside Down

Tonight has been a strange one.
I learned that a wedding cake to feed all my guests will total something close to $370.
That's $100 more than my wedding dress cost - which I at least will get to keep past the wedding!

And what's more health insurance to cover both me and Chris will cost maybe $400.
I could probably find a house for rent cheaper or as much.

What's the deal? Is there any perspective here?

And I struggle to keep my head above water.
I want to be a good steward of money - to buy things that are useful and will make mine and others lives better. The term "enhance" comes to mind.

Similarly the Christian life is full of backwards ideas.

16So the last will be first, and the first last." Matthew 20:16

35And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, "If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." Mark 9:35

I have toturn my world upside down. I have to fight to keep His perspective as my perspective.

And I need His help so very, very much right now.
