I have always given my tithe. Ever since I was in charge of the money in my home, the tithe was accounted for. Even when I couldn’t go to church because i was working on the weekends, I sent money to a mission organization instead.

I am not bragging, it has just never been an issue for me.https://singleparents.dfwhostingwebsites.com/doing-good/

My boyfriend doesn’t tithe. He always says he can’t afford to.

Yet, he never lets me do without.

So, I was praying about that this morning.

I don’t want my boyfriend to do wrong by God.

Then I started thinking outside of the box.

Tithing is usually given to a church to spread the gospel and minister to the saints.

I don’t have a building, but that is exactly what I do with my blog and my novel, The Shattered Vase.

I have over 21,000 followers and Russia and China are in my top five countries. I am breaking the iron curtain and telling stories about God and Jesus to those who are forbidden to learn the most important truths.

I am not supported by any of my followers. I had a donation button on my blog for a small amount of time,  then decided to take it down. Nobody had decided to give.

There have been times I didn’t know how I was going to eat.

During that time the Lord brought a doctor into my life who would take me to Costco and lay down as much cash as I needed to make sure I could eat.

Although I no longer see the doctor, my boyfriend is such a support to me.

Even when I told my boyfriend I didn’t want to see him anymore, he still provided.

With a stubborn resilience he has said. “I am not leaving until God tells me to.

This spring I was looking at my closet and noted I had very few clothes for the summertime. I merely took it to God in prayer and soon my boyfriend chose to take me shopping. Getting me some of the most beautiful clothes ever, for next to nothing, because God had favored us with amazing bargains!

I had never mentioned to my boyfriend about my wardrobe need. He is so in tune with God that God tells him what I need.

Do not think that he has not sacrificed for me. There was a while when he lived on 25$ a week, yet he did not refuse to pay the bills he had paid for me. He has done without so many times so that I could have. He is such a sweet example of the love of Christ.

He is so joyful when he is giving to me! His face just lights up with joy.

There have been many times when I have begged him not to spend money on me. Yet, he still does.

One of the times I was not even talking to him and God told him to get me something.

His reply was, “Well, that would be a bit inconvenient for me.”

God basically said, “He didn’t care. I needed it and he should get it for me.”

When he told me that I not only loved him more, but I was crazy in love with my God who cared so much for me.

But is that the same as tithing?

So, as I was praying I realized that I  am a minister.

No, I don’t preach in a church.

I grow my ministry through the internet.

I have never asked for a tithe.

Funny thing, my mega-church spent two whole months on money this year. They were asking for tithes. They are a multi million dollar enterprise. I, however, barely skimp by.

Yet, God has provided for me through my family which has helped support me and through the man of God, whom God has so graciously given me as a boyfriend.

May God bless my boyfriend with abundance and continued favor for his kindness and generosity.

Without his support this blog would never be where it is right now.

If you would like to support this ministry I am not asking for donations. I am asking you to buy my novel. It would mean so very much to me.
