Our God is amazing! In February of 2009, we joined several others in our church for a 13-week "Financial Peace" class by Dave Ramsey. We were several thousand dollars in commercial debt, including our car. We began to immediately implement the truths and wisdom that we were learning on a weekly basis from Dave Ramsey. (Dave has been affectionately re-named "Uncle Dave" in our household.)
When we decided to start the adoption process at the end of March, we asked the Lord to not only provide the means to adopt debt-free, but to provide the means to get out of debt completely.
Our God is able! By early summer, our car was paid off, and our other debt was getting paid off chunk by chunk. And, in 2009, Andrew and I collectively received six bonuses from our workplaces (unheard of!). Between the bonuses and following Uncle Dave's processes, the Lord provided MORE THAN ENOUGH to get out of debit. On Dec. 21, 2009, we paid off our last credit card payments. WE ARE DEBT FREE! And we still have money in our baby bank account for the adoption process, and it continues to get filled up.
I want you to know, as was shared with us by a speaker at our church, God does not provide just enough, He provides more than enough!
That is truly amazing!! I cried when I heard your testimony at church. God is so good! I love it, "God does not provide just enough. He provides more than enough!!"
ReplyDeleteGod's hand is definitely in this adoption process, His provisions over your family are just one of the many examples. I can NOT wait to meet this little soul that has been created for the two of you!!!
I am so happy that 2010 is here, let the blessings flow, LORD~!
