Money and stress were synonymous in our marriage. We had no trouble working hard but felt like we were barely keeping our heads above water. Our money was always telling us what we couldn't do rather than us deciding what it was going to do.

We had an opportunity to join a Connect Group through our Church called Financial Peace. This came just as we were considering Bankruptcy for the second time in our marriage. Financial Peace had simple steps that were clearly defined. It wasn't always easy but we knew this course was an answer to prayer. Being on the same page in this area for the first time in our marriage really strengthened our resolve. The word PEACE in Financial Peace really does ring true. There is a genuine sense of peace now that we are on top of our financial matters. We also have a better understanding of who God is. He wasn't interested in giving us what we thought we needed. He wanted to make us great stewards of what we already had. 

During this last year we have paid off a few major credit cards, taken care of emergency car repairs, bought a second vehicle for our growing family and much more. We never dreamed that all this was possible in such a short time. God blessed our obedience and gave us what we needed to follow it through. If you feel like you've been struggling with finances it may be time to surrender your efforts and trust God in an area that you may not think He's interested in. He IS interested. He has plans to bless and increase you and His path is always the best.
