That's Ms. Accountant to You
If you know me, you know that math is not my strong suit. I almost failed Math 30...TWICE.
Obviously, God didn't get the "Crystal is stupid at math" memo.
I work in the financial department at a rather large non-profit organization. I deal with thousands of dollars a day in cash, cheques and credit card donations. I balance every singe day.
I am a teller at my church starting November 30. I will count and balance the tithes from our 4 weekend services.
On Friday, in our corporate devotions, we had a speaker. A single, white female. Working in Africa. (Darfur to be exact). She works in finance. Her term is up in May.
Friday afternoon, I got a call from Damon who asked me to be the accountant for my Emerging Leaders (now called Joshua Project) course. He was so confident in my abilities that I couldn't help but say yes.
Yup. Accountant. As in CFO. As is....YIKES!
I have to deal with fundraising and expense reports and budgets and receipts and spreadsheets and figures.
I think I have a calculator around here somewhere....

Wow, congrats on all the responsibility. You are going to get used to dealing with money whether you like it or not!
CFO might be pushing it, but I'll play along.
Is it bad that all I can see when I look at Damon's pic is that his neck is almost wider than his head?
Good for you crystal... and don't listen to craig, call yourself a CFO all you want.
Why is your brothers blog before your moms on your list of 'i know you's'?
That's excellent! Proud of you again. You'll do an excellent job.
As for my blog name status, I don't mind. It must be a mennonite thing to put the males first.
Because...I had Craig there first and then when mom got a blog, I took someone who didn't ever post and replaced his site with mom's. Hence the order.
And I will call myself a CFO. It sounds important. And I like being important!
