Wow Kelli. This is great…over $21,000 in debt destruction in 9 months??? That’s amazing!!! Do you have any little tips of some habit you changed or something you gave up to accomplish this?

Thank you so much for this blog! I, too, am in a similar situation and have been using the ’snowball’ method to decrease debt. In September 2008, I had accumulated $26,500 in debt (credit cards, health, dental, etc.). My last credit card payment will go out in July 2009, bringing my balance down to $5287. Believe me, if you are disciplined and have a true desire to get out of debt, by God’s grace, it will happen. My favorite quote in the Bible is, “Steady plodding brings prosperity, hasty speculation brings poverty.” Pray over your finances. God wants you to be free of financial burden and He will accelerate the process of becoming debt free. He is faithful, therefore, we are faithful. God bless you all! Kelli

What a blessing it is to be DEBT FREE! It is so refreshing to hear the joy of another one who has crossed the bridge into freedom from debt. Only when you enter that free space that God holds for those who are released from the prison of debt, can we truly experience the joy and freedom that opens new doors. Hearing this story challenges me again to share with others the joy that comes from freedom from debt. And what lies ahead are greater opportunities for us to share that freedom and how we got there with others and to be open to wherever God will lead us in our new freedom.
