When my Baby Girl became ill, by God’s Grace, I was able to stop working, for the most part, so that I could be by her side throughout her struggles. This of course meant that our household was down one income. God was always faithful, providing for all her and our needs all those years Beckie was back and forth from one hospital or another. It was several years after she passed away, where our finances started getting really distressing. I “just happened” to find and take part in a devotional on my YourVersion Bible app from this guy called Dave Ramsey. It was the first time I had ever heard of him, but “something,” ok Someone, led me to read the devotional anyway. At the end of the series was an invitation to visit his website…since I really liked what he had to say, I decided to check it out. That is when I met his baby Financial Peace University. I immediately ordered the home course and poured myself into it.
Just like its name, I began to have this incredible peace about our finances. For the first time in our marriage, we had control over our funds instead of being controlled by the lack of them. A couple of years later, I introduced the course to my church as I coordinated several classes for the congregation. Many of those who attended would agree that their financial lives have been changed for the better, forever. But it doesn’t stop there. As I said yesterday, money affects every part of our lives. So as we get our financial health in check, we also improve our relationships, especially marriages, since we have more peace about it all. Getting our finances in order does not only effect our wallet, it brings peace to every part of our lives. And this program has been a complete Godsend to me and I know it will be for you also.
