Well, might I say, "Wow!?"
More importantly, God is so faithful!! I know it's been a while since I've written. I intended to stop updating this blog since Ben is feeling so much better. However, one of the prayer requests that we posted in February has been answered and we want to share God's faithfulness and thank you for praying!
We have been in prayer about how to pay off our debt. We are following Dave Ramsey's plan to get out of debt. It is such a blessing as it gives you the appropriate steps to take to make a real impact. If you have any debt or just want to be wise with your finances, check out his site www.daveramsey.com
We still owed a considerable amount on my school loans at the beginning of the year. When we did the math, it appeared that we might be able to make an impact by May. However, this worried us because we should receive a referral for our little Korean baby around this time. At that point, we will owe around $25K. So, we really wanted to find a way to get the debt paid off long before then so that we could start making attempts to save for the adoption.
So, our prayer was to get this debt knocked out by Mid-March (which seemed near impossible)...Praise Jesus, He allowed us to pay it all off yesterday! God has taken care of us and provided quite a few surprises from a larger than expected tax return to a bonus from work that was much greater than it has ever been...God is so faithful!
Thank you all for praying. He answered your prayers! We appreciate you sitting at His feet on our behalf. Now, let's pray for ways to save, save, save, so that we can get that little one home!!!
p.s. Please be in prayer for Ben as he is at an interview this morning and is hoping to have another one next week!!
