Off to the water park!

Stop me if I sound like a broken record here, but I just wanted to leave a quick note to say we are finishing up our 5th month "Ramsey-style" (aka our budget) and things are going great. We have had such a heart change in the way we think about money, and belongings, and so much more. And we're reaping the benefits - not only ourselves, but through our children and the life lessons they're learning. More on all that later though.

When we started down this budget road I told Brian how strongly I felt that once we are obedient to God and good stewards with our money, He will start to shower down blessings on us (not that we weren't extremely blessed already). God has been so faithful to meet all our needs, and then some. We in no way feel like we've been deprived these past 5 months.

A few months ago we told the kids that we would take them to our local water park this summer. We stood on faith that God would provide the funds for us to do so (to pay for the four tickets we would need would cost over $100). Then about a month and a half ago our local radio station had "Isaiah" for their name game, and guess what? We won! And guess what the prize was....FOUR tickets to the water park! God is so creative!

So, Brian is taking tomorrow off and we're packing up the whole family for a day of fun in the sun (it's supposed to be a balmy 102 tomorrow, and according to Weather Bug it was 110 today). I'll try to post pics when we're done.
