Thank God Friday (and I'm in love)!

Stop here.
Thank God for 3 things you haven't thanked Him for this week.  I want to see your fingers counting your blessings.  Even the hard things.

I have a friend who's a teeny tiny stick of a woman.  Seriously she makes all the size 1 girls look chubby.  You know what's fun about her?  She's pregnant and she's a spitfire.  By pregnant I mean, the girl is PREGNANT and by spitfire I mean, the girl is FEISTY! She was telling me this week that her husband was laying on the couch and she sat on him and made him say 3 nice things about her and she didn't get off until he did.

She makes me giggle.

I bring this up because it really does make me giggle and because I believe that God wants us to say nice things about Him.  And we don't want him to have to sit on us and squeeze the praises out of us!  For reals, that would hurt!

I have my list of 3 things that I'm thankful for but today I'm going to focus on just one.

I am incredibly thankful for my Hotsauce.  He's my biggest fan and my best friend.  There's no one else that I would rather be on this Total Money Makeover journey with than him.  Yesterday he came home from work and told me that he was talking to one of our neighbors earlier in the day and that she might be over later to work on her budget.  She did show up and I was blessed to hear him go line by line through our budget.  He explained every step and why it was important.  His nerdy little self was almost giddy with excitement as he moved from one topic to the next!  And it's not the first time that he's done that with friends and neighbors. 

Earlier in the week I heard him answer his phone and within a few seconds of greeting the caller he was saying, "Yes, liquid cash is all the money that you have access to right now..."

Hotsauce not only wants to provide for our family and see us thrive, he wants everyone we know to have the same hope in their lives.  He wants our family, our friends, our neighbors to know that God cares about them.  He desires to help others and I love that about him.  I really admire his openness to share our situation and to bring others along with us on this journey.

He could be selfish.  He could decide that our finances aren't anyone else's business and he could have told me not to blog about it.  And I would've honored that decision.  But, instead he keeps telling me that I need to blog more often.  He also gives me great ideas about topics that I need to be covering in my blog!

So if you've been at all blessed or encouraged by this blog it's in large part due to my Hotsauce.  He truly is the brains of this operation and I get to watch God use him to bring so much joy to others. 

It's Friday and I'm in love.
