God has challenged me to write about how He will supernaturally pay off our mortgage in 5 years. I am a homemaker, my husband is a teacher, and we have three children. Our mortgage balance at the start of this blog is $97,802.62 with a projected payoff date of May 11, 2035.

Sounds foolish, huh? The Bible says that, "...God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise;..." So I am choosing to be foolish and trust Him. He's never let me down before.

One Man's Garbage is Another Man's Garden


Our local Craigslist had an advertisement for free wood pallets and wood scraps at a construction dump site.  It was pretty much self-serve as you can see.

So with my 15-month old cheering me on from his rear-facing car seat, I got busy.  Not only were there wood scraps in the dumpster, there were also used soda cups, cigarette butts, and other varieties of assorted trash.  Oh happy day!

For my valor, I was rewarded with the spoils you see here.

These materials meant for waste yielded two square foot gardens for growing vegetables and one pallet garden for growing herbs.  Trash to treasure!
