This Past Week…

This past week has been hard for me, and this is part of the reason I haven’t written much in my blog this week. Several days before Christmas we had gotten news that my grandfather on my dad’s side, had two months to live. Two nights ago we found out he only had a few days to maybe a few weeks left, because he had gotten worse. I have not seen my grandfather in 5 years, because he lives in new Hampshire, and I went to college in Florida, and before I could go back, my family moved to Florida as well.
My aunt and uncle who still live in New Hampshire are already making funeral arrangements for my grandfather and they told me they are trying to arrange for a funeral with full military honors since my grandpa proudly served with the 1st Marine Division in Guadacanal and Peleliu. I am really proud and hope everything works out for this to happen.
The problem is, we do not have the money to go up to New Hampshire, when my grandfather does pass away. It has been something I have been thinking about over for the past few days, and praying about. After some tears, I know that no matter what it will be ok, and I am taking it one day at a time.
We also started a class by Dave Ramsey at church called Financial Peace University. I think this is going to be really good for us, and help us save money, and learn how to handle our finances. It is perfect to be getting this done before the baby comes as well. Money has been an issue for awhile now that has bothered me. I feel at times my husband and I are going different directions, and I think this class will helps us get focused.
So as the week started bad and has been stressful, it has ended on this good note, that there is hope, and I am looking forward to the good things God will do.
so sorry to hear about your grandpa!
I hope the financial class is something that really helps you. Maybe you can share some of your lessons with us? I feel the same way sometimes, like my husband and I are just going in two different directions.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I'll be praying for peace for him as well as your family. Just remember that there is a better place for him and that he will be taken care of in the end.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather.
Also, the Dave Ramsey class is great!
Sorry about your grandfather…
FPU is awesome. My husband and I did it a while back and we are well on our way to becoming debt free.
Stopping by from SITS So sorry to hear about your grandfather…
Praying for you as you prepare for the loss of your grandfather.
I have a dear friend who's not only taken the FP class but has led it 2 or 3 times.
It's never easy to know one of your loved ones maybe leaving you soon. my prayers are with you also tha class sounds like it will be very helpful. I know debt is one of the biggest reasons why we stress sometimes
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. That is a very stressful situation, but I'm praying that God will work out everything for you.
I'm also going to be doing Dave Ramsey's FPU. As a matter of fact, my husband and I just started it and I will be doing a little bit of blogging about it.
Hugs to you!
I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa đ He and you will be in my prayers.
Dave Ramsey is great! We have taken some of his advice in the last few years đ
I'm so very sorry for your situation. I pray that this class will help you to become financially secure so you will never be in this hard spot again.
