Another one down! I paid off another credit card today. What a great feeling! That leaves two. And I cannot wait until I get those paid. I am putting a firm date of August 1, as to when I will be out of credit card debt. All of this is due to God. And I cannot thank Him enough.
To be honest, I have been lax the last several months. I have gotten fat and lazy. I am on track to get out of debt, so I have just been sitting back letting it happen, instead of being proactive, and staying strong. I have noticed particularly my weight (thus the diets on and off), being out of shape, and spending more than I should on little things.
God has been gently reminding me to finish strong. This is an exciting new period quickly approaching, and I must be ready for it. I have a very strong natural tendency to just sit back and let life happen, but I cannot let that happen. Too much is at stake. So please be praying with me about this next period of time. There are so many options, it is a little overwhelming. Kind of like coming out of prison. The debtor truly is servant to the lender. It is an exciting, and still a little scary time. I am looking forward to it.
To finish strong I need to:
- Stay in the Bible every day.
- At least look at my expenses/budget everyday, record, balance checkbook, etc.
- Get in shape – exercise somehow every day and lose 12-17 lbs to be 175-180.
Thank you all for this kind of accountability. It does help.

not sure if you remember me...you helped pregnant lil me move ...lol...now we, Jon me and Noah are settling down in Germany...
Be encouraged brother, I struggle just as you do with following through, being in the word, exercising...etc...I find that once I really start doing well, satan pushes that much harder...so I have come to rejoice when I feel that I am struggling to stay on course because I know satan knows I am succeeding and he is throwing anything in my way to impede my progress...but God is soooo very good...He restores and provides all the strength we need!
Be encouraged brother!:)
HUGS from way over here in Germany!
Yes, of course I remember. I don't believe I got the opportunity to meet Jon though. It is good to hear from you. Do take care.
