One of your most wonderful attributes is your willingness to be so open and honest about your struggles, and as we’ve discussed numerous times, I can and do relate to them. hmmmm maybe we are related?? And as mothers, all we both need to do is just look at our children (no matter what their ages) to see that we do, indeed, have more than enough. And our wonderful Father just gives us more and more!! Love you very much!! Mom

oh I can so relate to this story!
2 summers ago- we were plugging away- working on getting rid of our debt. We had been working hard. I mean really hard- the whole family. Our air conditioner went out- like really bad. The total? Almost to the penny what our remaining debt was. We had to fix the air. It was so depressing, and made me so angry- that the feeling stays with me to avoid purposeful debt. We used our emergency fund, rebuilt it back up, had other medical debt come into play, but finally got all the debt paid off. Now truth be told, we get slammed every year with our medical, and have to work hard at paying it off. But- charging things on purpose, or spending more than we have- oh that feeling stays with me- I don’t want to be in that place again! Learning what our needs and our wants are, is a difficult thing. Its never ending I am finding out! Hang in there- really. Use this experience for your good. You will make it through it. Enough indeed!

The most dangerous thing about practicing sin is not only do you get better at it, but the better you get, the harder it is to break the habit. Funny thing about money is how little it can mean. I had to call a plumber today. I didn’t have much choice. The back yard was turning into an open air cess pool. I handed him the credit card and paid it without even blinking. We’re debt free. We’ve worked at that. But it’s like any other goal. Once you’ve achieved it, what’s next? The “goal” can be just as bad a habit as any other.

We think alike, Jenn. I have had those same exact feelings and inner battles. Oh please, Lord, help me remember that I too have enough. Thanks for this post! =)

Get out of my head; those are private thoughts. Wants and needs. I gotta stop “needing” everything I want. Honestly though - I can so without a doubt - I have everything I need and everything that matters. Everything that is most important to me, I get to take with me (family and friends). Everything just makes life a little simpler. We need to start believing that others are looking at us as one of “those” families they think has everything.
