  • Gazelle Intensity

    "Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler." Proverbs 6:5

    We've attacked our debt with "gazelle intensity" for one year now.  After yesterday, we've refreshed and renewed our intensity as we tackle the remainder.  Here's why,

  • Live Your Dreams

    I wrote here about living your dreams.  I also shared how God really added to our "little" to help us start living our dreams. 

    Well, a sweet gal that I've been getting to know through her blog shared her family's story.  Read just how God added to their "little" and is helping them live out their dreams.

    God is so amazing!  His wonders never cease! 

  • One Income

    Occasionally another gal will express to me her desire to be an at home Mommy.  I'm an at home Mommy who homeschools, helps self-employed hubby, and co-manages a Gymnastics Academy (two evenings a week, while the kiddos are taking gymnastics). 

    I've never regretted the things we don't have because of our lifestyle choices.  My husband and I agreed a long time ago that our parenting style would be to give our children experiences rather than things. 

    Being an at home mom doesn't mean that you can't add to the family income.  There are lots of creative things you can do from home.  Importantly, there are also lots of creative ways you can save money by reducing your household expense. 

    Never let circumstances keep you from fulfilling God's calling on your life.  Live the dreams God has placed in your heart!   

    Set your mind to finding a way.  Pray that God will bless and add to your efforts!

    My family is a testimony to what God can do. 

    The TrentTribe has been snowballing debt for one year.  We started in August of 2007.  In one year, with our single income the Lord has blessed us to pay off well over $30,000 in debt!

    "Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow."
