Steve and I brought in my big 40 in Florida. A few months back I blogged that I joined a new company called It works global. I joined because our family had gotten in lots of debt. We were almost out of debt when we decided that I should go back to school. During that time I cut back on my photography hours and we borrowed money for college, adoption cost, mission expenses, dental bills started racking in and soon we had a lot of debt. We are actually very blessed with good jobs. But, we found ourselves as a medium income family working a lot but not getting things paid down. We didn't want to sell the land and we really wanted to get out of our house. So we took a leap and moved on out. Little did we know the house wouldn't sell like we hoped it would and so the bills kept coming and I was stressed out. I hate having too many bills. We were completely led to It works global awhile back but as we prayed about what to do we decided to give it a try. Little did I know my life would completely change. Our bills are slowly rolling out. We are catching up and building our emergency fund again. August 30, I joined the company for 99 and today I feel like a totally different person. I am not worried about how we are going to pay this stuff off. It just keeps happening. While we were in FL. the company announced HUGE cash bonuses that could completely get our family out of debt. We are striving to go for it and get these bonuses. I am very close to the 10K one. It could happen any day. It amazes me that I have been in such a short time and anyone can reach for these. It has taught me to reach for the stars....there is no limit to what we can do. A little extra work and stretching myself can make all the difference in a day. I am so thankful to have this opportunity. As I look back, if the house had sold the first month I wouldn't have even considered pushing myself with It works. If the house had sold the second month, I wouldn't have pushed myself but the third month my life flipped. I got a Christmas bonus and it went crazy after that. Now we have 34 people on our team and we are all working super hard to achieve these same goals. It is so awesome to work together!!!! I love how God puts you right where you need to be.
PLUS, I have an incredible kindergarten class this year. They let me push them so hard all day long and learn so fast so I am not worried at night about extra work details and I can work my side job when the kids are in bed and Sunday evenings or late Saturday.
I am praying my 40th year gets us out of debt and 41 we spend at the beach with my toes in the sand completely debt free!!!!!
Here's to a new decade!!!
