Cutting back

As I work on cutting back physically and fiscally I find new challenges every day. New temptations that creep in to test your will power. It is weird how if you attempt to moderate one area of your life another slips into excess. All of this to say that in order to truly trim the fat it must be cut from everything. As I discipline myself to eating and drinking less I must also curb the spending habits that incite this behavior. This is also a challenge as my whole household must participate as we are a team.
Leading this team will take careful planning as we cannot just go cold turkey in order to achieve long term success. The progression of my family into prosperity and health will be my pursuit and the further subject of the blog.
My first program will be the planning session. Kelly and I will sit down once a week and plan the exact week's allocation of food and money.
Deviations from the plan will require the notification of the other and agreement. Ad Hoc meetings will be necessary to the success of this plan.

The first step before all of this is a prayer and commitment on my part to become unselfish. I will forgo my desire's in regards to personal immediate gratification and submit to the long term success. I will pray for strength and wisdom in my pursuits. God please grant me the resolve to be unselfish in my leadership of your family that you have entrusted to me. AMEN.
