Tonight I finished a 9 week course in learning how to handle my finances "God's way" and ultimately become "debt-free". I found it a bit ironic that my LAST class would fall on my FIRST day of being unemployed.
It's kinda difficult to manage money when one has NO income...and I mean NO INCOME. I do not qualify for unemployment benefits so I am COMPLETELY on my own this time.
I wish I knew what to say but nothing I say will make sense to anyone so I simply haven't said anything at all, and probably won't. At this point all I can do is PRAY (I do believe that prayer works) and VERY ACTIVELY pursue new job opportunities.
Perhaps in a separate post I will write about how I arrived at this point, but for now, I am simply drained and just don't have the mental energy to type the words.
Am I afraid? Not yet.
Should I be? Probably.
But for now, I will pray, then lay my head down, go to sleep, and if the Lord sees fit to wake me in the morning, try again.
Let the DIALOGUE begin: How close are YOU to being debt-free?
Talk to me (and pray for me if you will...in the name of Jesus)!
Til next time...

I am one winning lottery ticket away from being debt free! LOL! Seriously though, I paid off alot of old debts 4 years ago, closed credit cards. I don't have any credit cards currently, I operate cash only. I has its advantages & disadvantages, but I am not that far away from being debt free. Just the lingering car note & massive amounts of student loans.
