I have made a commitment to rid myself of debt. I have no desire to live under the curse of debt. I have also made a commitment to be more organized regarding my finances. I have created a spreadsheet to track monthly spending. I have ordered checks (I used to get money orders from my bank but the accounting piece of that is a nightmare). And finally, I have created the projected budget for the next three months.
I prayed and asked God for an extra course to teach at my part-time school. My prayer was granted. The money means I will be out of debt and my budget balanced by April. WAHOOOOOO!!!! I am so excited. There are many things that I want to do for the kingdom of God and being bogged down with debt prevents me from being a blessing to others.
I also want to get married. The bible states, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord" Proverbs 18:22. Notice the emphasizes on "good." I do not want to be a "thing" to my husband. I want to be a good thing. I want to be a blessing to him. And unncessary debt is not a blessing. Besides, debt is under the curse. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:13).
Choose to be debt free!
