Praying for your Husband
I am constantly hearing women ask, "How do I get my husband to do Dave Ramsey too? I'm on bored, but he is not." I have so been there. I was so frustrated with my husband for years that I couldn't convince him, and he wouldn't hear me. We tried to do it once, but... Continue Reading →
The Problem with Gazelle Intensity
I should begin this with letting you know we are a low income family with a lot of big graces from God and our family right now. We are rich in so many ways, but when it comes to money, we are in a hard season. A few weeks ago, I was feeling guilty over... Continue Reading →
