<p>Nothing to say. </p>
<p>Exhausted.</p>
<p>Recently our <a href="http://theopenhouse.ca">church</a> realized something. If we are going to continue operating (budget-wise), we need tithes to increase to $4000 a month from where they are currently as of January 2010. You may ask, &#8220;I thought your church had minimal expenses?&#8221; Well, we do. The problem is that we give too much away. 51% to be exact. </p>
<p>All, thanks to a conversation with <a href="http://thehopefulskeptic.com/blog/">Nick</a> in the Bahamas BTW. <img src='http://motionsickness.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>That means our current budget is about $1900 a month. I think that&#8217;s reasonable. But you see its not reasonable anymore. We had help, funding and few blessings here and there. But as of January 2010&#8230; our outside sources are gone. So we now have to make a choice. We asked for prayer. We asked for ideas. But the truth is I knew this was coming 4 years ago. </p>
<p>And I never really made an effort to change this destination. </p>
<p>Because I knew what was right and I know what God has asked me to do. </p>
<p>I still want to hear the ideas from toh. I still believe God can do big things. But the truth is, He has. It&#8217;s done. And he will continue to do it and now He is bringing about a way to enable more progress with our little powerful community called the open house. He is taking our money away. Brilliant. Beautiful. And the money he has given us&#8230; we have to give it away too. Amazing.</p>
<p>I knew this was coming 4 years ago. And now it&#8217;s time to embrace it. The weight is beginning to lift. The sun is rising. The potential of toh has not even begun to touch the surface. </p>
