In this particular case my need for inspiration is directly related to that fact that I struggle at times with vanity and small mindedness. My husband and I have made some financially related decisions to live simply. We live in a lovely small home and have no debt whatsoever so that we can be free to do as God leads with regard to giving and time. However, sometimes when people come over, my vanity is pricked when they notice how simply we live. Just the other day we had a single mom and her son over for lunch and afterward she noted with surprise that we didn't have a dishwasher. I began to think how we have money, if we wanted we could have a dishwasher and a lot of other things but then came back to what was of real importance for us. I'm inspired by people like Michael Spenser and his co workers who have such a peace in being right where they are supposed to be.
