['lately it has been tough for me to put aside money to pay tithing to my church, but i have been able to keep up with it still.', 'Did you have to get a second job?', 'no, but i think twice about spending money on things i really dont need like candy or alcohol, both of which i feel i should abstain from regardless of finances!']
I'm glad you found a way to work it out!
even though times are tough and money is tight i always remember to pay my church tithes.
