It's crazy to them. But we receive so much support from our church family because the decision was made between ourselves and our Heavenly Father, and we know it was the right choice. We know that when we do the things we need to do, the Lord will provide. It's in my husband's patriarchal blessing. That doesn't mean we sit back and relax and wait for the blessings - not at all! We work, we pinch pennies, we pay a full tithe, we sacrifice, we try to be of service to those around us, and the blessings certainly do come.<br /><br />Personally, having spent time being a poor college student before getting married, and my husband having served a mission in a 3rd world country, we are both pretty familiar with not living extravagantly. And Bro Jo is right, it will be very rewarding building things up together. More rewarding than if we waited to get married until finances were secure.Lauranoreply@blogger.com
