We spent our emergency fund...

Well since becoming Dave Ramsey-ites, we have worked to build our emergency fund, which I must admit was not yet fully stocked when we learned on Tuesday that we had to buy a new water heater. However you all know how the Lord watches over us and gives us exactly what we need exactly when we need it, and low and behold, the total of the water heater came to almost the exact amount that we had put back. Now I, as much as anybody else, hate to spend every penny we have, but I couldn't help but see the Lord's hand at work in this situation. We had cut up our credit cards about a year ago, before ever even deciding to buy into this Dave Ramsey business, so putting it on a credit card would not have been an option. What would we have done withough our humble emergency fund??? I must thank the Lord for introducing us to this new found peace at the exact moment that He did so that now two months later, we had enough money put back to buy a water heater!

It is amazing how God always provides and so funny that we always worry so much. I'm glad that it all worked out for you and good luck getting the emergency fund built back up.

Praise God! And, although you had to spend that emergency fund, how does it feel to sit back and know your water heater is completely paid for? That is an addicting feeling. So much so, that you long for that feeling again when you pay off something else or buy something completely with cash. Great job, you guys! I'm proud of you!! Keep up the good work.
