I have recently been listening to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University while driving around for the last month. It has been 13 hours of the very educational listening, including budgets, investing, saving, insurance, everything financial.
Today on a business trip I decided to finish up the CDs since I had 3 hours of nothing else, and I have finally taken the "Don't Text and Drive" Pledge (took me long enough...right?).
The last CD of the series was Dave's personal testimonial. It talks about how he got where he is, what made him change his life, and just other things to think about as you move forward in your own journey. I began listening to how he had everything he had ever wanted in life, but still felt like he was missing something. For some reason it really hit home and when he started to talk about his journey to find God and church that showed him what he was looking for (and not just get talked at my a pastor) I started thinking about my own personal journey, how much I wanted to give back and to show my thanks for all the opportunities and blessings that have been shown to me throughout the years.
Then all of a sudden Dave asked everyone to pray with him. I don't know why (well, I do know - I'm a girl, and girls just have our own set of emotions), but tears started to run down my cheeks. I realized that all of these financial motivators, speakers, bloggers, etc. had come into my life because I was meant to do something more with my life then to just buy things and do things for me and my litter. I finished listening to the CD and as I was moving into a new city the radio stations were different, but k-love came on and started playing one of my husband's favorite Christian songs. I started laughing at how things work in mysterious ways, and we don't always know what is in store for us. We just know that we need to keep our hearts and minds open and follow the path that is laid before us.
