To give you an idea of what my expenses are at the moment...

I'm currently paying $300 for rent and utilities.  That's a really sweet deal there.

I'm currently paying about $320 for gas for my truck each month.  That's not so sweet, but it could be worse.  I bet it would be worse if I were back at home and driving 35-40 minutes to work, and then another 35-40 minutes back from work, even if gas prices are cheaper there.  I'd probably still be paying more there because everything is so spread out and far from where I lived.

I'm currently getting anywhere from $700 to $800 from my church.  So, as far as food and other costs goes, it's a bit tight.  But I'm about to do another blitz in my job searching here in Redding, and do things a little differently.

I will need to start paying my student loans from my previous schooling in October.  That's $210/month there. 

I haven't put up a new chipin on my blogs for monthly living expenses, so paypal padrematt@nbcriver.org if you're wanting to help out with monthly expenses, and it should be tax deductible.  If you want to paypal me directly, it's joey@joeycagle.net, but it won't be tax deductible if given directly to me.  I am under New Beginnings Church, so just keep that in mine.

Keep in mind I still need money for ministry school too.  I haven't called to get the latest amount that's in.  I did send a support letter to New Beginnings Church, and in turn they should have made copies and mailed them to New Beginnings Church members.  I'll post the address if anyone wants to give towards my ministry school.  It should go to Bethel Church.  You can also give to New Beginnings Church and they'll make sure it gets out to Bethel.  Either of those ways will be tax deductible.  Don't give directly to me for that unless you don't care about the tax deduction.  I'll post the Bethel address up here soon (it won't be paypal).
