Median house price in my neighbourhood $170.000

Have to say this: Before I started paying GOD HIS tithe faithfully
I NEVER COULD make ends meet. Things happened all the time that there just wasn't money to cover.
Finally after struggling (years) to be faithful, I prayed to GOD and asked HIM to forgive me and to help me to always Tithe and not mess up anymore...for HIM to do it through me.
Now, it's so different...almost automatic, and the blessings!
We have moved from a trailer to a nic
goodness, I was cut-off
(sorry I'm so wordy!)
nice home, I even quit my job to spread HIS Word full time, and my husband has his own company making much more than before.
Tithing ROCKS.
