Debt Debt... what a terrible word, what a terrible way to live, but how many of us do live this way? With a huge weight on our backs because we just 'have to have' this or that, or you know we just have to have the best of, or lots of times, we want it NOW and we DON'T have the money and so we pull out the old credit card and the cycle continues...The above picture is not our debt, but last night I sat down and wrote out a debt list very much like the one above. It listed our mortgage, a loan for our roof we had to replace, credit cards and a couple of doctor bills that are lingering from Shannon's stay in the hospital. It truly was appalling to look at the debt that we have accumulated. Most of which was our home loan. I have to take a lot of the credit for the shape we are in financially. I have been very naive and blind to the burden of debt... I had the 'worldly' mindset for the longest time... Meaning, instead of remembering the verse, Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. *I* had the mindset, EVERYONE has debt, I mean, how on Earth do you have anything if you don't???? Like I told you earlier this week the revelation about Self-Control, this has been on my heart also... a by-product of the lack of my Self-Control. I keep saying MY, but obviously it was OUR, because my husband and I are one... but honestly, I was not a very submissive wife in the beginning of our marriage and I was the one who nagged about this or that until my dear husband agreed. BUT... that is another story, and thankfully God has changed my heart drastically. This is something Shannon and I eagerly want to overcome. We want to be able to be Debt-Free before we are old and gray. It CAN be done, I know it. One aspect of our trouble is that Shannon is still in the waiting stages of finding out where God wants him... he has a job now, but we don't believe the position he is in right now is where he should stay... we are seeking God on where He wants him to be. Your prayers are very much appreciated. Nevertheless, we KNOW God will bless, He always does. We will continue to be faithful in our little... we KNOW He is always Faithful.
