Fruit Inspection

So I received the weirdest phone call this week. The young lady was nice, and it wasn’t at all strange that she called me, but the turn that the conversation took…that was definitely weird.

As most of you know, I became a certified Crown Financial Money Coach last fall. I’ve talked to several clients on the phone and have 3 that I’m currently keeping tabs on. I wish I could help more people, but the last 2 I’ve had to turn away because I just don’t have the time.

I keep thinking it would be a great idea to post some helpful hints and tips about budgeting on my blog. I’ve put it off for nearly a year. Not because it isn’t a good idea, but because here in this house, we were being tossed and turned by the economy, with our budget ever changing, and I really didn’t feel qualified to give any advice.

Fast forward to this week. I got a call from a sweet young girl looking for a budget counselor. I explained that I was not available right now and gave her the name and number of someone who could possibly help her. I am thinking, okay, the conversation is over. Bye bye now.

She goes on. She asks me if I’ve ever written any books. “No”, I say. She then says, “Oh, because you have a cool name. It’s like an authors name.”

I admit, I was a little flattered. She goes on to say, “Maybe you could write a book about budgeting. Like how other moms can learn to stay home and not feel like they have to work. That would be a great book.”

Now that is not a book that I would like to write. But still. This girl didn’t know me from Eve. She got my name and number from Crown Ministries. How did she know I liked to write and had a blog and had a desire to share some of the things I’ve learned??? Well, of course she didn’t. But I think Someone was trying to give me the green light on this little idea that’s been rolling around in my head.

I have a bunch of things jotted down on a scratch pad. It’s completely random at this point. So I will open this up to you, my good and faithful readers, are there any questions you have? Do you wonder if your family could actually become debt free? Do you know how to live on a budget? Do you know what the Bible says about how we spend our money?

Go ahead. Ask away. And if you’d rather keep your question confidential, just email me using the “contact me” box in the left sidebar. I look forward to responding!!!
