Episode 307 | Rest & Faith

Hey y'all,

So, check this. in this episode we kind of got into a little of everything – the heart, the soul, and yeah, the wallet too. We unpacked a lot about our journey together, and honestly, it was a really good. Let’s walk through it.

Love is a Trip, And Who Said Trips are Easy?

Here's the thing about relationships: they're like those road trips where you don't always have the map, but you've got the destination in mind. We realized our relationship is this ever-evolving journey. We've had to navigate through some rough patches, sure, but that's where the growth happens. It's like every disagreement, every misunderstanding, was actually setting us up to understand each other better.

We've learned to find our rhythm. It's about those moments when you're like, "Okay, I see you," and you adjust, you adapt. It's never about changing who we are, but about evolving together, you feel me?

What has made the world of difference, though, is our faith. For us, faith is not just about what happens in a church building. It's about how we live out those beliefs day-to-day… with each other especially. It's been the glue when things got messy, the light when things looked dim. Our faith has shown us how to back each other up, to pull strength from God.

We've had those moments, but God kept us anchored. It's taught us to see the best in each other, to keep pushing even when it's tempting to pull back.

Let's Talk Money – Keeping It Real and Right

Alright, onto the real talk – managing our finances. This part of the journey’s been interesting, for real. While we both have always been about saving, making sure every dollar is doing the most. One of us is a little more, let's say, 'free' with the spending than the other. What we've learned is this: it's all about balance and understanding.

We had to find a middle ground with our money. It's like mixing that saving-savvy mindset with the freedom to enjoy life. We've been learning how to make financial decisions that reflect both our values and our dreams. It's not just saving for a rainy day; it's also enjoying the sunshine right now. This is really where the mindset of truly being able to have faith in God comes in to play.

One thing we realized, that helps a lot, is how crucial it is to have shared goals. It's like setting the coordinates in your GPS – you both know where you're heading, and you work together to get there. Whether it's about stacking our coins, planning for our future, or just personal aspirations, having these mutual goals has given us direction. It also builds on our intimacy because we get to talk about these goals and the journey on the way to them together as well.

It's not always smooth; sometimes, we gotta recalibrate, adjust our plans. But the key is doing it together. It's about being co-captains on this voyage of life.

Rolling With the Changes – It's All Part of the Ride

Now, here's a major key – embracing change. Life's gonna throw curveballs, and how we swing at them is what matters. We've learned to be open to change, to adapt. Whether it's habits, financial decisions, or just our perspectives, being flexible has been vital.

It's about recognizing that change isn't a threat; it's an opportunity to grow, to become even stronger together. It's about keeping our eyes on the prize and remembering that every step, every shift, is part of our journey.

So there you have it.
