I am taking a 4 week Bible Study with Beth Moore in Proverbs. This week was a REALLY great week being that Erik and I have been meeting with a financial advisor trying to pay debt off and prepare for our future. I just wanted to share this outline with everyone in case you need to hear this as well. Sometimes money issues can be so stressful and Beth helps us to see how we can be in bondage to it and we DON'T have to be!
