One more thing

Okay, 2 posts in one day. Go me!

Something just dawned on me.

For some, doing this budget thing might be hard. The decisions you have to make will be really difficult and you may not like it.

This may be painful. Really painful. Maybe it's not - maybe it's a piece of cake. But if I remember correctly, our first attempts were not super fun.

Just keep in mind - it's not the budget that is hurting you. It's your debt. Every time you make a decision that is painful just remind yourself that the pain you feel is not because we are making you do a budget - the pain is from the bondage you are in. If you are debt (and Nic and I are, mortgage debt) the Bible says you are a servant. You have a master, and it's not a benevolent one.

The budget makes us painfully aware of our condition. Nic and I and some in our class have loosened the chains, and it feels wonderful! We can move again, we can BREATHE again. But we are not yet free. Mortgage debt is debt nonetheless and we intend to attack it with a vengence. Our heavenly Father wants us to be free - but it will take hard work and determination on our part. With many prayers, and many tears, He will get us through.

Okay, sorry, that wasn't the lighthearted post I intended it to be, so Iwill end with this. My husband is the greatest and he made us BBQ chicken sandwiches which I am now going to devour. Yummy!!!!

Okay, seriously guys, I'm not posting again........have a good night!
