Going radical 10th month!

Sweet October especially the 30th day, I have been waiting ever so patiently for your arrival. It felt like years till I would see that date. Bam! Before I knew it the month had ended and our goal had finally arrived! The 30th arrived with Benjamin's paycheck and on Halloween day Benjamin and I walked into the bank singing "We Are The Champions" and laid our money down, gave them the Mormon bird ( turkey in sign language) and walked out of there like we had dreamed we would.

I don't know how many times I would make a payment to that bank, look at our balance and have tears in my eyes wondering when would this loan be done. Thinking it was impossible. I can't express the joy I felt seeing the balance at $0. Oh the joy! In the last ten months we have put over 40% of our income on this debt, 40%!! That my friends is radical.

Lessons learned in October:

1." Don't you quit, you keep walking! You keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come till heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come! It will be alright in the end, trust God and believe in good things to come."
