The people backed out and did us wrong.We moved back into our home to find vandalism

We spent the next 3 months living in a hotelwhile our home was renovated.

We moved back home.  YEAH!!!!

And  we had a car accident…

We had marriage problems during this time. Who wouldn’t? I spent a lot of timing driving back and forth and taking care of the kids alone while my husband dealt with work and all the house problems.  I went into a bad place. My faith was very strong but that didn’t keep me from falling into a depression. It was very hard on us all. Yes all of those very challenging things happened this year. BUT my husband and I kept the faith! I decided my life motto should be :

“God I don’t get this…but I trust you!”

By September we had moved back home and tried getting back into a normalcy. Our marriage was stronger than ever. I slowly came out of my depression. I was thankful! I knew that God brought us home for a reason and he would provide a way for this house. I told everyone that. I believe in speaking things into your life. If you believe it you can see it!

That is when miracles began to happen in our lives. We were literally living on LOVE and CENTS! We received monetary and non monetary gifts that showed up at just the right moment. When we needed something the most it appeared from people that didn’t even know how much we needed it. People were so giving in ways that they could give. That was GOD!

There were times that this blog was serious therapy for me. It kept me busy and YOU, the readers, made me smile and gave me joy!

I started working as a Campaign Leader for Collective Bias and shortly after started working wit the AMAZING cbSocially team. Read all about that journey here.  I have said over and over how much I love  this company! This was an ANSWERED PRAYER! It is a way to do what I love every day, work with amazing people and bring in an income for my family. I KNEW God would provide a way!

Living on Love and Cents as grown and now I have other very talented bloggers bringing your creative content. I am so excited to have them on this team! If you are interested in joining our team we are always taking applications here.
