I'm Debt Free!!

I realized I never blogged about being debt free! I gave my testimony of what God did on my journey to becoming debt free at church, so I'm just going to copy and paste it here.

Quotes by Laura Jackson (?)

“He grabbed her hand and pointed her finger to the stars that filled the sky. “That’s you. Life is dark, but you’re going to keep shining. You can’t see how bright you are in your dark situation, but if you step outside of the pain, you would see what I see.” “What”
― Laura Jackson, Worth the Wait
