Proverbs 13:11

So I've been thinking about the economy, spending, saving, loans, mortgages, Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac...it's been quite the ride these past six months. It was confusing at first, who did what to whom. Why did everything fall apart? Who is to blame? Then I realized, there is no one to blame but ourselves. We buried our heads in the sand, thought we could get anything we wanted or "deserved", thought everything is going to be okay and we can pay off our debts. I know I was one of these people, thinking that paying off my debt would come to me. Well, it has taken some time but we are halfway to debt freedom and now I realize the only person to blame is myself for getting us there. I looked up some bible verses to go along with my thoughts here and the one that resonates with me is Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. I think of the dishonest money as debt, that which we bought thinking we could pay for it later. It has sent our economy into a tailspin and we are reeling from it's effects. Then I think about gathering money little by little as paying off this debt. So we realized our sins and now some of society is slowly but surely paying off their debt and it will grow from there. This is what we are trying to do, slowly, slowly pay off this debt that we have and get back into being good stewards of all that God has given us!!!

I hope your day is fruitful and fulfilling ~
God Bless.
