It's interesting what happened to me today. One of the areas that kept bringing us down financially are transporation expenses. We are finally out of debt and stable. Now the worst happened!
Our car has broken down today but we are still claiming freedom from debt. Back when God told us to move into town, one of the things Mimi and I mentioned was how in the past having our car break down was a financial diaster. It totally would put us behind everytime it broke down and increased our debt. I was always stressed about being held captive by insurance companies (increased by 40% due to a ticket), $500 car repairs, parking dues.
Not anymore! God positioning us in town has once again proven to be an awesome thing! I am closer to my work, hospitals, and church. The bus stop is right by our house and can get us anywhere we need to go! Top Foods is right down the road.
I asked myself as started walking to the car dealership, "Was getting $18,000 in debt again God's plan for our lives? How can I be a blessing to others if all of my money goes to funding insurance companies and a car. Basically I would be hit with $500+ a month again. And $350 maintenance schedules every 4-6 months.
Our goal right now is to become Kingdom Builders at church and be able to give back into the church NOT weathly insurance companies. I prayed this week about positioning us to be able to give more. Sacrificing our transporation will give us a way!
Jesus talked about worry, the birds in the air don't worry and God provides. Why should we worry. Now I don't have to stress about my car falling apart and insurance rates anymore. I will not allow debt to keep me captive any longer!
