Dumb Thing #1 (Part 3)

January 11, 2006

(Here’s Part 1 and Part 2 if you need to catch up.)

Moving on…

What can I do to fix it?
As you can see, this issue (i.e. paying off $25,000 in debt) is not black and white. There’s a lot goin’ on here. My first goal is to embrace motherhood (as I explained in Part 2). Work in this area began in the summer and is ongoing. I’m happy with my progress and apparently others have noticed a change too as evidenced by the comments I’ve received, like, “You seem so much more comfortable in your parenting” and “In the last year, I’ve really seen you grow in the area of motherhood.” Trippy.

Anyway, now I’m having a third baby—I can’t tell you how huge that is for me—and I even found myself telling Brian that I think we should adopt more. All I can say is, God MUST be doing something because that is just PLAIN FREAKY.

And so what about the debt? Well, there is now a fire under my booty to get things in financial order. So, I am embarking on The Great Debt Payoff. The plan at this point (although I’m making no promises because as you know, I change my mind like I change my underwear—another escape mechanism that will have to wait til later) is to track my progress as I whittle this debt away but because the subject of debt reduction is a major diversion from the central theme of this site (i.e. that I’m an issue-laden pastor’s wife), I’ve decided to start another blog to do so…and so you too can join in the fun. Therefore, as of this moment, I’m now going to continue this debt thing over at my new blog (The Great Debt Payoff) with my first official post, Getting Out of Debt: My Plan & How You Can Benefit.

For those of you who could care less about my debt whatnot, do not fear. I will be back with our regularly scheduled programming right here at With Purpose :: Not Your Typical Pastor’s Wife just as soon as my next inner child issue is discovered and/or exposed, which, as you know, shouldn’t be very long.
