Did you ever pray over your budget? Did you ever pause to think that yes, God cares about your budget too? Because He does.
Today, I’m excited to be sharing my story over at (in)courage, where I will be guest posting all week, in fact, as part of the Bloom Book Club. Here’s a little excerpt from the post:
To be quite honest, I wasn’t always so savvy about saving. In my previous life, before children, I was a top sales rep for a Fortune 500 company. I didn’t have to watch my money, or so I thought. My husband and I lived without a budget, and when we wanted something we bought it—including a home that required both of our paychecks to make the monthly mortgage. I innocently assumed that I would always work. Little did I realize that once my daughter was born, all I would want to do would be to stay home with her.
When that happened, I found myself in a new place—it was no longer a place of freedom, it was a place of bondage. Financially, I felt trapped. I was trapped by our lifestyle, trapped by the mortgage that demanded my income.

Kelly, thank you for all that you share with all of us to help make ends meet and sometimes have extras. Your story is similar to ours and as I read the comments on (in)courage, it seems similar to many others, too. You are a real blessing to me and my family. Thank you so very much!!!
Joy, thank you for reading and for your words of encouragement. I agree, unfortunately, there are more than I’d like that can relate to the things I talk about. But the good thing is that is where God has put us and we can trust in his promises. 🙂
