Christmas miracles

I love Christmas and what it means, not just the red bows and presents under the tree. I think it is amazing what our savior did for us. I have been reading in the scriptures about the atonement and I have been trying to use it in my life. I have also come to the realization that I have many faults and still have soo much more to learn. I started working about two weeks ago, my husband is going back to school. We don't want to go into debt for school and we want him to go full time to get done faster. I had a friend tell me today that we should do what everyone else does and just get loans. I still the remember the Saturday’s evening priesthood session, President Hinckley said: “I am suggesting that the time has come to get our houses in order. So many of our people are living on the very edge of their incomes. In fact, some are living on borrowings. … There is a portent of stormy weather ahead to which we had better give heed.” so you ask why go back to work well the answer is simple to try to keep our school debt very small. I know that school is not cheap but borrow modestly. I would hate to find my self so over the head someday that I would have no way out then to file bankruptcy and it is sad that people take it soo lightly. I hate leaving the kids at night but I also know that our family will be bless for our sacrifice. When you are in debt you become a slave, I will close with a quote by President Faust
The Lord’s counsel on the subject is to “pay the debt … [and] release thyself from bondage.” I want to be free!
