Discipline and Disappointment

Last year I made the mistake of making super expensive phone calls to South Africa regularly and I paid dearly for them. My second year in Korea I thought I need to be smarter and limit my ways of communicating to texting and skyping and using a phone card if a call is necessary.  I had been doing so well up until last month. I let my guard down just a little and now I will pay dearly using some of my planned savings for the upcoming summer holidays. Discipline is so important. Even if the means to pay are there, it doesn't mean one should be wasteful and careless.  I'm probably being a little too hard on myself but one main theme that God is teaching me this year is discipline, in all aspects of my life - from being late for appointments to discipline around food and in this case money. But its okay, I will try to hop back onto the horse again next month.
