Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. Galatians 6:4

Have you done this?
Have you wanted something sooooo bad...
That you have saved.. waited and saved some more....

And when the day comes that you can GET what your hearts has desired for so long...
What your fingers have ached to HOLD for years....in my case years!!
You get scared?

Are you making the right choice?
Am I taking away from my family... the family that is never neglected....
But .. what if there is that ONE time... that ONE IF.... If ONLY...
the money was needed elsewhere after my purchase.

I know God is in control and I need to lean all my "what if's" in HIS hands not mine... but I am human... really human...

Will I be buying it from the right place?
Will I be getting the best deal?
Will it break a week later?

Will it.. Will it... Will it???

I guess I'll never know til I take the plunge...

What I want?? might be pennies for some... and it might never be a second though for others... but you're talking to the woman who despises to buy new underwear when I'm in desperate need... I'd rather make sure I had money for grocery shopping.. ... yes.. I'm bad!! REALLY BAD!! and those that shop with me .. HATE IT!!

This is what I want.. this is what I have money for... and I'm scare! Plain and simple! I'm scared!


I'm a beginner... and I Love it! This is going to be a GREAT beginner SLR for me.. I already have a knock out Nikon Film Camera ( and I won't even tell you how long I waited and worked to buy that!! )... So to have TWO nice cameras... UGH.. It's killing me!!

What are some things you've had a hard time buying.. but your heart desired it more than anything...
Or do you just take the plunge and get what you want??

I think I would put my Nikon in that category, too! But, I went ahead with it, and I'm quite pleased with the progress (some weeks I take tons of pictures while others I take almost none)!

Yeah I want a slr camera but I got a point and shoot because WHY...
The Money! Worried that something would happen and I spent MONEY on a camera.I wanted this back in April for my Anniversary. I decided to wait and guess what? OUR car broke down costing 850.00 for repairs...yeah there went the camera dream! LOL SO yeah I get YOU TOTALLY! BUT I HAVE NO LUCK! I MEAN after I fell once and sprang my ankle two days later I slipped with my crutches and fractured THE OTHER ankle!

I have done Weight Watchers in the past....I am trying to figure out my game plan......lol

OOOO, nice camera! And I think if you worked hard to save for it, you're not taking money away from the rest of the fam. It's a little reward for all the hard work you do in every area for everyone else.

My camera totally is in that category. I waited for 2 years for that thing! But it was so worth it! Take the plunge.

Now I'm saving for a lens. It may take 5 years before I get it, but you gotta do something for yourself. The groceries will be there. Don't worry.

Tam said...

Did you go buy that camera yet!

go buy it! YOU deserve it!

Terri,
I would buy the camera...you use it for your job, and it is something that you worked so hard to get. Of course you will have doubts and feelings of taking away from your family,but that just shows what a great mom and wife you are!!

Go for it!!

Blessings,
Ronnie
