WOW! God is way too good to us! Last week, EJ and I decided we were tired of paying my student loans and our house. We didn't want any debt holding us back from whatever God intends us to do with the money He gives us. I sat down with the budget and squeezed every penny possible out of our extras and luxuries and started an envelope system of other monthly expenses. All of the extra money each month will go to pay off the prinicple balance on my loans then all of that will go toward the house.
First, let me say the grocery bill this week was exactly to the penny what I had budgeted. I told God He was showing out but he said nope. I also needed an oil change this week, which I had budgeted for, but they informed me my front tires needing replacing. I was a little discouraged and I thought really?! I just got started on this whole envelope budget thing and I don't have an envelope big enough for that, but I have followed God long enough to know when you are being obedient to Him you are attacked the most...not to say that this is a big blow by any means, it just wasn't planned so anyway I got the new tires. I came home and was subtracting the cost of the tires from our extra money for the principle this month and I noticed that my check this pay period was increased by twice what the tires cost. Why would my check be different from every other check for the past many months? I have no explanation other than God is good. I told God again He showed out and He said nope, I just love you and thank you for being obedient. Isn't he good? Wowser...He blows my mind!
Congrats to me?
