What was I thinking?

What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to Him than a whole flock of sparrows. ~Luke 12:6-7

The Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. ~ Deuteronomy 16:15

Amy,
18 months is not that far to go! When I read your goal of 18 months, a thought struck me. Maybe I shouldn't even say it, as it may seem extremely negative, but it is not intended that way.
I have come to the belief that the US is headed for some really tough financial times....maybe, just maybe, God was getting you totally ready for this challenge to come by convicting you to get rid of your debt NOW.
18 months from now, with all of your new habits and money knowledge, you may be one of the best prepared to survive the downturn. You may also be in a position to relate to others who are suffering financially and be an empathetic role model. Maybe this was all for a reason.
I am afraid that things may be so bad that we will be in a depression in two years. In the last depression, the people who survived were those with very little debt, those able to do without and live frugally. Yes, this may have all been for a very good reason.

This is sweet. What a reminder of God's goodness.

By the way, I'm *sure* I would not do any better in the faith department when things like this come up. I'm actually encouraged when I look at the Israelites and their trip through the desert... how God carried them and sustained them... and they still whined the whole way!

Journaling and going over God's faithfulness to our needs builds up our faith! It reminds us that God never fails us!!! We aren't in the best financial shape, but we are (with lots of help from God) working our way our of debt! We are doing the Dave ramsey thing.......... We are down to the last year!!!!! PRAISE GOD for all the ways he has shown you his power!!!!
