Happy Fall Everyone! Tomorrow is the official first day of autumn and boy does it feel like it! Leaves are changing color and falling! It's practically pitch black out when I get up in the morning and the air is starting to have that fall crispness to it...and most importantly Starbucks is promoting pumpkin spice lattes and toffee mochas :) It's a new season! For Colin it is a new season in his life as well. Today is his last day working for the City of Portland, this is the longest position he has had since he graduated college, and it has given him so much experience. Hopefully enough for him to find a full time permanent position...what would that be like?! It seems twice a year we find ourself in this spot where the future is unknown. It has been these times when we realize how much we need to rely on the Lord and let him show us how great he is. We've also learned our lessons in managing money through these times. This time is not nearly as scary since we have gotten our budget down to work with just one income, it's just inconvenient because it means we won't be able to pay as much on our debt! We appreciate your prayers we try to figure the "what's next"! "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11
That is so awesome you guys are able to live off just 1 income! I bet it is hard to sort of freeze your debt snowball, but you are still better off than all the people who would have to build more debt when someone became unemployed. God will reward your faithfulness, I have no doubt!
