I woke up this morning thinking about debt, and how my next step in getting out of debt is to get rid of my credit cards. As some of you know one of my God given passions is to get out of debt and help others to get out as well. I have lead two Biblical Financial bible studies, and will be leading another one probably in the winter (maybe fall). Because I went to University for five years, and stupidly blew every penny the government gave me and every penny I made while going to school (which was quite a bit for a student), I now am facing the consequences. So anytime I get further ahead I keep blowing it with the credit cards. I have felt for a little while lately that I am suppose to cut up my credit cards and can never do it. So I woke up this morning and cut them up.....and now I could puke, I'm feeling light headed and sick to my stomach. It's kinda funny how we can so easily put our trust in credit cards instead of depending on God to supply all of our financial needs.
So now Lord I put my trust in you for all of my financial needs, you are the only one that can get me out of debt (my goal is April 2010) and it will take a miracle, but I believe in your miracles because you are the almighty God, maker of heaven and earth, and I can do all things through you who gives me strength. Amen.

wow...
that is awesome raema... i admire your strength and how it is obviously from your faith in the Lord... there is no denying that fact... so many days i feel like i have not got what it takes, but it is encouraging to see those who do... it is empowering... thank you...
Don't beat yourself up. I've been there. Like, OUCH, I have SO been there.
I was feeling guilty about my debt recently and I heard the voice of God say that I don't carry this burden alone. Funny, because I never felt God would carry my burden of financial debt! But I suppose He is in all things. So I found some comfort to just keep chugging away and paying things off as I can. Being a single mom, hey...it can add up fast!
Keep the faith!
