Talking about the Hard Things… Money.

We have been away for a little bit…

So I thought I could give a bit of a “life update”

When we first decided to take the job here in NZ, we knew it would be a stretch financially because of how much the cost of living is (for example, our tiny basement apartment is $610/week)

When we did our calculations, we knew that Josh keeping his job back in the states would be pivotal… so we went directly to his boss and asked. He was on board, so we said yes!

Well, that job back in the states has shifted and now it’s looking like the income we had expected from that will be very different.

So we kinda tucked our heads into our little turtle shell and asked God to do a miracle.  God has already started that miracle, but it’s much different than we originally thought.  Finances have changed, yes… but so has our trust in God. He has been SO evident in this process.

So why the break from IG and blogging??

Honestly, I value authenticity and being able to show “real” moments with people… but I wasn’t at the place mentally or spiritually to be ok with sharing until we had a peace about it…  And honestly, sometimes that just takes time.  I also NEVER want to be the “poor pitiful us” type of people… so God had to work a few things out in us to even be able to share.

Two things that are a challenge to talk about… sex and money…

Both of those things are a part of our everyday lives…but we NEED to be talking about them (in healthy ways) in order to move past them and keep God in them…

So… that’s where we have been… now you know… now we will resume our regular scheduled programming
