Winning the Battle Over Debt

Wow....it's been a super long time since I wrote a post!  SO much has happened since 2013...it's hard to know where to start!  My husband and I lost a baby boy in April, 2013 - and we welcomed a beautiful new daughter in November, 2015.  I lost the beloved job I'd had for more than 6 years, started a new job, then decided to quit working altogether to focus on being a wife, mom, and home educator to our oldest daughter.  There have been valleys and victories along the way as well, but more than anything, we are BLESSED!  Blessed beyond belief!

It's been within recent days that I've really gained a renewed determination to eliminate our financial debt.  Now, we aren't a family who lives beyond our means, but we do have things like student loan debt as well as our mortgage that I'd love to drastically reduce if not eliminate altogether.  I've been trying to think of ways that I can, once again, help with the financial load of our home and make a harder push at reducing our debt more quickly. 

I've always been pretty creative - I love art, design, and color - so I decided to give my hand at designing and selling t-shirts to supplement our family's income.  My plan is to focus on creating t-shirts that encourage and empower Christian women in their daily walk with the Lord.  I'll be doing this through a partnership with teespring.com.

I currently have one t-shirt design available for purchase.  Feel free to check it out here:

Moving forward, I'd love to have some input and suggestions as to what types of sayings, Bible verses, or words of encouragement others would like to see on a t-shirt, hoodie, tank, or long sleeved shirt - what would bring YOU encouragement and would be something you would enjoy wearing for others to see?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and I'll work on putting them in to a design! 

Until next time...
