Can you hear me – right now

The last few days my Spirit has been saddened by so much happening in the world. People do not feel as if they are being heard and are therefore taking some drastic actions. I’m not talking no little things – I read where a man bulldozed his house to avoid foreclosure, the man flew his airplane into the IRS building and burned down his house beforehand, and there is even more that I am sure I am not even aware.

Have you heard that in life it is all about presentation? Think about it when men and women get ready to go on a date with that special person, they take the time and extra care to groom themselves in such a way that they will not be rejected but accepted. They are even nervous or have butterflies in their stomach because they want to be received in such a way.

How are you presenting your financial challenges to your spouse? Are you calling him at work and reading him the riot act? If so, what did that solve? When he gets home, how did you greet him at the door? Or did you not greet him but say What the He_ _ double hocky sticks did you spend money on today? Instead of Hello Honey, how are you and wait until later to discuss the finances.

Presentation is key. For example – for the wife who has been crying herself to sleep at night because of the financial strain. You can make it and you must be willing to be honest and invest the time to re-evaluate your finances and make some necessary changes. I remember feeling as if there was nothing else you could do and getting to the point of being at the end of myself and crying out to God for help. Then there was help.

Or for the wife that pretends she’s asleep in the morning as he gets ready to leave for work to avoid any discussion about work, those mornings do not have to exist if you learn how to talk about the finances and become solution oriented.

I don’t have to be Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman or anyone else. The only person I have to be is Dr. Taffy, wife who came into her marriage with debt, established a five year game plan and got out of debt within two and a half years without filing bankruptcy. I am the woman who got food from the food banks, had to re-establish her credit at 18 or 21% and rebuilt the credit. The wife’s post you are reading has been happily married for 14 years and knows firsthand about being in the church with debt, being a business owner and the business not making money and much more.
