Today, we gathered firewood and filled the truck to the brim. It was hard, sweaty work, but I’m loving this new rural life. Getting my hands dirty in nature keeps me grounded and healthy.

Later, my husband and I went over our finances and realized we’ve spent far too much this month since moving in. Thankfully, over the years, we’ve built a solid financial system, and as long as we return to it, we know how to get back on track.

I thank the Lord for the two and a half years of incredibly money-tight but meaningful RV life. It was through those trials and errors that my husband and I, relying on faith, made it through so many tough situations. The experience and growth we gained are priceless. Now, we’re much calmer and more mature when facing financial pressures.
