It will happen

Three years ago I went through a messy divorce that left me in a financial situation that I had to live without being able to use credit. I lost my home and car to my ex-wife whale she took those things she also promised to pay for them and get my name off them as soon as possible. Thinking that is would be a short process I was ok with it and I said that I would get her name off of the bills I said I would take. For these last three years I was not able to do anything but just make payments on my bills because of my name being on the house and car. Over a year ago when God told me that I needed to go to Mexico and not file bankruptcy we had a peace about the situation and we knew that one-day it would all work out.

Being faithful and going to Mexico the last two years over spring break. God has been faithful to his promise to take care of us. Six to eight months ago I noticed that the car that still had my name on it got sold or refinanced and I no longer had that debt to my name. As I continued to keep paying off my debt and faithfully trying to follow what God wants for me I went to Mexico again after building two homes over three and a half days we also volunteered at Children's Hunger Fund in Sylmar California building 575 food packs that will feed about 2300 people. Just as we were finishing up I got a text from my ex-wife saying she was refinancing the house and that I needed to sign off my interest in the house. Today I am no longer a homeowner or have a car loan. Once I get my debt I brought with me paid off my wife and me will be debt free other then my student loans.

God is faithful to take care of us and bless us. This experience has taught me that happiness blessing are not about the things you have or the money that is in the bank. My largest blessing in my life is my family, both those who are related my bloodline and those that God has adopted and brought together in our churches. I am blessed that I don't have this burden hanging over me and my wife any longer but the blessing is not that I can go put myself in debt but that through this I have seen what I can live without and that what I have is God's and as long as I have it I need to use it to praise, honor, and point to the living God who fulfills my needs.
