During the past few years, many people have been tested in the area of their finances. So I know our story is one of many, but the details of how God moved during this season are so beautiful I can’t help but share.

This testimony takes place starting in May 2007 and extending to March 2011. In many ways, this is a macro version of the Test of Faith the Lord put us through in 2006.

I grew up in a loving home with a wonderful family. In many ways, it was very much like “Leave it to Beaver” – only I was a bit more like Eddie Haskell (It’s a rough parallel, but you get the idea).
