Tithing is not for the leary. After a serious review of my finances, both income and debts, I have been really trying to live out Romans 13:8 {Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has obeyed the law.}
I know this is going to sound so lame - but I had FREE Farmer Boys today! God just keeps on pouring into my cup... and it is now my duty to use it according to his will. This month alone He blessed me with an unexpected refund from the IRS (on top of my stimulus!) - and then tonight free dinner. Unbelievable as this sounds - tonight I stopped by the FB drive-thru on my way to small group. Ordered what I wanted, went to the window to pay.... The guy tells me that their computers are down so they are buying me dinner. NO - I AM NOT KIDDING! Can you say that the IRS has ever sent you extra money ON PURPOSE or that at the drive thru window they give you your dinner for free? Be obedient. {Why do you call me 'Lord, 'Lord, and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46}

Hey Melissa! Glad to see you are blogging. And whereabouts do you live? (Maybe we are pretty close!)
God is pretty amazing isn't he? I have some similar stories as of late.
Looking forward to reading more. :)
Paying tithe really does bring amazing events into your life - sometimes it's difficult to pay financially, but the promises He has given us makes it that much easier! Welcome back!
Tithing has changed my life, too...check out the one I blog I have on my Sandals Groups page...people are so weird about giving money to something "they don't know" but God is really taking care of us!
