I’m at Kellogg. Typically I’ve been spending ~$3k/month on expenses + $2k/month in rent (so $5k total per month). Could I be doing it for cheaper, yes. Are there people spending more, 1000% yes.

This includes costs for all the random trips and events

This got me worried 😂

15k! Feel like each trip is going to cost 2-3k. Go to ~4-5 of those

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
