cha cha changes.....

217. A man who sacrifices for the good of our family

218. An amazing man who loves his son, check out the rockstars!

We made some changes recently that were not easy, especially for my hubbs. To some it may seem trivial, but for us it was wasn't. We got rid of cable (We have only done this once before and it was when we were first married and pregnant with T). That means no more sports--hence the difficulty for the hubbs-a pleasure for me :). We did however, get netflix instant streaming and hulu plus--savings of over $50 bucks a month ($300 a year).....also we switched from smart phones to dumb phones (I don't think they are dumb, but they are used and cheap and do what they need to do. saving of about half which is awesome! Our goal is to pay off our debt and start saving for a down payment on a house for when we move (hopefully back to Oregon). I don't want to ever know debt again other than a mortgage, this means living differently and I am excited to do so. Coupons come in handy and so does the Dave Ramsey financial freedom plan.

blah blah blah, my point is that we are going to live differntly and its not easy, but if we can do this for a season then we can live debt free and be able to give more of our finances to further God's kingdom, to help others who have so much less, to spread the gospel--however that may happen--going, sending, etc......

219. the innocense of children, who don't care what kind of phone you have, what you wear, if you have cable, what food they get to eat (though mine are pretty picky)....

220. faith like a child--children trust their parents fully-they don't worry about waht they will eat, wear, where they will go, what they will do, when their parents are driving they don't worry about the other drivers they trust their dad--they reach out to us when they hurt, struggle, are happy, no matter waht comes they look to us---so here's to faith like a child, lets all try it......
