True Debt Freedom!

By
Over time we have been taught that debt freedom is being absent of consumer debt such as credit cards, loans, and etc. More simply put owing no one. However if you reflect over that statement of debt freedom it really is not possible. As a matter of fact you will always have some type of debt. You will owe your mortgage company/landlord, your utility companies, insurance companies, and etc. How could we expect to no longer have debt? Why are we chasing a made up existence? Why is it that the rich could care less about debt? Have you ever asked yourself these questions?

I am going to shed some light today on this whole "debt freedom" thought process. Debt freedom is possible however it is a mind shift not a money shift. Let's breakdown the phrase debt freedom. Debt, according to Google is something, typically money, that is owed or due. Freedom, according to Google, is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. When we put the words debt freedom together it is not saying being obsolete of debt, but what it is saying is to no longer operate our day to day by what we owe. Our decisions, our actions, our way of life should no longer be bound because of what is owed. The reason we never get to fully enjoy life is because we focus more on what has us weighed down.

To truly become debt free means you no longer stop what you know your destiny is for what you owe. I am not saying to not be responsible for paying your debts, but what I am saying is STOP living your life according to your debt. There is a plan for your life. It was created before you were created. God knew every right or wrong decision you were going to make before you made them. He gives you opportunities daily to rectify those decisions, but when you are so bound you are missing your opportunities. WAKE UP "so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed". You are no longer bound. Change your thinking and change your life! You are going to keep you from achieving debt freedom if you can't stop allowing the debt chains and shackles to keep you in place with fear.

My Last Day, I QUIT!

By
How many times have you said those very words? How many times have you felt overwhelmed, under qualified, unappreciated, not good enough for the task, just plain out ineffective? We have quit so many times in our minds due to circumstances, emotions, thoughts, and outside influences that we can not count! As a matter of fact although we think we have only quit in our minds for that moment we don't realize the seed that we planted in our own minds which is the seed of quitting and failing. QUITTING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION OR A THOUGHT TO BE CONSIDERED! In life whatever the journey that we find ourselves on we must remember that the journey is not by our hand but the hand of the Most High God. He wrote the book of our life with plans, strategies, and outcomes. He knew who He created us to be. However we fall into the trap of our emotions and other's opinions that we fell to realize that although the journey seems impossible and we appear to be incapable, we have already succes...

Debt Will Not Let You Go?

By
About a month or so ago I was on the phone with a dear friend of mine. We were discussing some dynamics within our family. During our discussion she made a comment. That comment was "and here comes debt again". For the first time out of 20 some odd years of working in the financial arena, I heard something different. When she made that statement I no longer looked at debt the same. I began to reflect back on why it was important to God to use Elisha to perform a miracle for a woman whose husband died and sons were going to have to go into slavery (2 Kings 4:1-7). As I began to look deeper into this scripture it became evident to me. God does not want us to be in debt. It places our daily life functions, our livelihood, and our future in the hands of someone else. It creates stress, worry, and anxiety. It pulls us away from who created us, and what we were created to accomplish. We have been taught that there is good debt and bad debt. Did you know any debt is bad debt?  W...

Will This Ever End

By
Anxiety noun.      a feeling of worry, nervousness, and unease typically about an imminent event or something without a certain outcome. (Google) During a time of restoration anxiety is sure to show up. This emotion will cause an immense amount of worry and it stems from fear of the unknown. Often times you will find yourself in a place of wondering "will this ever end". The reason why you say this is because it seems like your situation is lingering for a long time, but know there is healing and change happening in restoration which can take a while.  When one is coming out of any type of bondage, for the sake of this article we will be speaking of financial bondage, there is a time of acceptance that must take place. This acceptance that I speak of is the moment that you realize that your bondage came from poor decision making that stemmed from desires. Often times I would say well it's because I loss income or some other unfortunate outcome. However wh...
