Money

You know, being a CPA, I should enjoy dealing with money - counting it, managing it, rearranging it. And I don't mind it at work. But I really hate managing my own money. Balancing my checkbook, paying credit card bills (virtually all my bills are charged automatically to a credit card that I pay off each month - that at least, is some small relief), moving money to savings, even *gasp!* thinking about long-term financial planning.... Why is that? Am I just lazy? Do I just want someone else to take care of the details?

Funny, this trait seems to also spill over into my spiritual walk. I go to church every time the doors are open, participate in more ministries than I can count and have a hard time saying no when asked to do one more, throw up a prayer when I think about it (like driving in my car to work).... but do I sit down, with the TV off and read my Bible or spend quality time in prayer? Not nearly as often as I should. Why is that? Am I just lazy? Do I just want someone else to take care of the details? I want to have a deeper faith, a closer relationship with my Savior -- why do I continue to let Satan woo me with the lie that I don't need to work at it? Just things to ponder. And conviction that I need to keep working on that relationship - it's not magic.
