March 3, 2010 Humble.
God really has a knack of making me feel humble. We thought the house was meant to be. Turned out it wasn’t. We didn’t get the house, which is okay by me. If God thought it was a good time, he would have made the opportunity for us. Obviously, it’s not meant to be. In fact, now I’m completely humble and almost embarrassed about our situation.
We could continue to live on our own, and we would do just fine.. But we’re tired of living in an apartment. It’s not fair to our animals that they don’t have space, and that our dogs don’t have the room to run. So, we’re moving in with my parents. It’s going to be very weird, I think. But, I do think it’s the right thing to do at this point. We want to save up as much money as we can, so that when Chris graduates, we can immediately try and find a house.
Also, we’re trying to pay off our credit cards. We have made huge leaps and bounds with all our credit card debt. I’m embarrassed to say that when we first got married, we had a total of 7 (yes, seven) credit cards. In the 4 months we have been married, however, we have managed to pay off 5 of them. I’m really proud of us for doing that. It was hard, but I am so sick of being weighed down and controlled by all that debt. We made it a priority to pay them off. 2 more to go.
So, the plan for the next 8-9 months (ouch) is to live with my parents, pay off those last 2 credit cards, and save up as much money as possible so we can buy a house come December. I think God is going to use this experience to really open up our eyes, and trust Him. I think he’s going to continue to make me humble.
