Fundraising Update

All along I've said that whether or not this becomes a career, I feel like our family has something to learn from the experience.  Just the fact that hubby said we should go for it is pretty out of character and surprising.  I had a feeling that God was really going to work in our hearts with our finances- budgeting, saving, learning to prioritize, all that. 

His company has been talking about changing his position there for over a year.  This month it finally all came together.  They created a new position for him, with more responsibilities, doing the fun stuff he actually has been wanting to do all this time, and with a salary increase that makes it easy for us to make Shine payments without stressing.  This is such a blessing that I cannot even begin to describe it.  We're still going to do a couple more garage sales, but we don't have to freak out and scramble every month when the payment is due.  And after we come back from Orlando in January, that will be extra money in our budget that we can put toward paying off debt, or maybe even using for travel expenses if she gets jobs.

Thank you Lord!!!
