Faith vs The Bottom Line

We had our Family Foundation Trust board meeting on Monday night. Part of the agenda was to look at how Children Worldwide were doing. We raised the following question/comments: We carefully look at the cost of everything, we budget to the last penny and make sure we are being wise with the incredibly small resources we have.
But… Is there a time were the financial bottom line stands in the way of faith? Do we sometimes not step out with fresh ideas, vision and passion because of this so called “bottom line”?
Yes – it is wise to count the cost, but equally, we are often called to step out in faith.
We wonder how many Godly ideas fall flat at the first hurdle, called “the budget” because it’s too scary to step out in faith and trust God for what is needed.
What do you think?

Maybe We’re Too Busy

It seems that when we are busy, the first thing to go is updating the blog! So, Kay is looking at ways to make updating a little easier when we’re on the move – just to make sure everyone is kept up to date with all the latest news and thoughts.
We’ve been busy with assemblies, meetings, consultancy, training etc, etc. But – we did manage to fit in a quick break in Hastings, where Kay managed to ignore her phone for a whole week! Steve on the other hand….. didn’t!
We are thankful for the quiet patience of house sitters (even though they did set the house alarm off last time – oops) making sure our house is kept safe during our many absences!
We do manage to keep the diary reasonably up to date, only the occasional last minute booking is missed off.
