Happy Monday y’all! I suppose this could be a #mcm post where I brag about how amazing this man is – but truly this is SO much more. This is an answered prayer. A year ago I sat down to make a list of characteristics / qualities that were important to me in my future significant other. Y’all know I LOVE @daveramsey – I was very anxious that I would be able to find someone who had the same financial values as me. The specific quality on my list I was praying for was someone who had no debt or was actively participating in getting there. This was important to me because I held myself to the same expectation. I was not going to have debt or bring it into a relationship (only exception is my mortgage). The first gathering Joel and I were at together last September; this topic came up in conversation (which I did not think was ironic at all). Joel brought up how he worked through college, along with help from his parents and managed to graduate debt free – and was still debt free to date. I thought to myself HOW COULD THIS BE?! *only God* Something else on my list that was important to me was that me and my future significant other would take Financial Peace together while we were dating. It was stressed to me many times how important it is to be on the same page with money, so it was a goal of mine to take this class together. Fast forward to present day, Joel and I are in week five of Financial Peace University and learning so much about money and each other. Not only was this topic important to me, but it was important to Joel as well. He wanted to do this together because it was already important to him, not because I made him. I thank God for this man and this relationship – for all the things we are learning separately and together. Cheers to cutting up credit cards, Dave Ramsey style. #daveramsey #debtfree #debtfreecommunity
*what you see* — picture perfect moments captured on the perfect Saturday getaway ☀️ 🌊 • • *what you don’t see* — although the four of us had an amazing time, lots of laughs and the best blackened-chicken grilled cheeses ever, our trip didn’t go as planned • • we went to the wrong ferry for Kelley’s Island 🌴 and our little trip immediately didn’t look like what we had thought — what do you do in that moment? parking paid, ten minute walk in ninety degrees, hangry as ever... • • thankfully the only expectation we had for the day was quality time together and that’s what we decided to focus on✨ • • so here’s to embracing the wrong directions, surrendered expectations and the best time with friends 💯
Ordinary picture with an extraordinary truth in the caption: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” ‭‭[Proverbs‬ ‭16:9‬] —> continuously learning this truth over and over👏🏼 Hello 👋🏼 where my type A’s at?! Me! Can I share something I’m experiencing right now? There something amazingly-contagious when you surrender your plans to God’s plans just once to try it out (because let’s be honest, we don’t reallyyyy want to give control of the situation over). But what I’ve experienced is that the harvest that you sow when you start to give God the control is SO MUCH GREATER than the results my plans would equate to — I start to make my own plans, own agenda, my own to-do list and suddenly I’m bogged down with stress, fear and overwhelmed. My plans only make it so far before I *physically* open my hands and pray to surrender my plans to God’s will; only to be met with love, grace, peace and clarity. I pray you get to experience this because the purpose and promises God has for you is beyond measure. Call me crazy, but I’d rather have the God who created the universe to lead my life, establishing my steps v. me in my imperfect, stressed-out, hot-mess of a self. 🙌🏼
Its about this time in the day when I can’t wait to get home to this sweet girl 🐾 #anniejothepup
