I’m Debt Free! This Is My Testimony!

God is good. A few years ago I was buried in debt and I couldn’t pay it off anymore. He told me to stop paying it and He asked me to follow His kingdom, not this world. I was at church and He told me give my $200 to church, to just trust Him. He told me “whose house are you building?” I was trying to live a normal life, like get a house and car and all that, but not knowing that His plans were way funner and freer. He has led me to so many people with like minded hearts and to do way funner things than sit at a 9 to 5.

I went around the world ministering to people and prophesying. I went with the Spirit and had to ask for help and connect with people.

I felt a lot of guilt for a few years because I felt guilty for being in debt but then I heard this song “I’ve paid off your debts”. I thought everything got written off but then I got a letter saying they’re suing me.

I didn’t show up in court because I thought I could ignore it. I remember the lawyer talking to me and he made me feel super guilty about opening a TJMAXX card.

He said “I see that you just opened a TJ Maxx card, then why don’t you pay us back”. I said “because they had 10% off and I’ve been paying all my bills on time”. To be honest, I felt so frustrated I started yelling at him because I felt like he was trying to guilt trip me. I felt alone and lost.

Long story short I found this law firm (I simply googled) who helped me get a bankruptcy and I was disbursed of all debt. A lot of people feel ashamed about talking about debt and finances but I believe there is freedom in talking about things that you feel ashamed about. The process took me a few months.

My mother told me to be responsible and pay it off but I knew in my heart I had to be released of it, and that I could be forgiven of my debt.

This is the verse my paralegal told me that set me free. He spoke freedom into my heart and made me feel less guilty about getting a bankruptcy. I am truly thankful to the law firm that took my case on. They did a really great job and no it’s not an ad but if you want to be referred, just message me on Instagram.

I grew up thinking bankruptcies were horrible but even after I stopped paying off my debt, returned a leased car before the payments were done and my credit dropped really low…I never even needed a credit score. God’s WAYS are higher than our ways.

At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.” Deuteronomy 15

13 Days of Mediation – Day 5 – Life Is About Taking Risks

“A ship is always safe at the shore – but that is NOT what it

is built for.” ― Albert Einstein 

In the beginning of the year, I had decided to buy a betta fish because I wanted something new in life and also something alive to come home to. I named the fish Allen because I drove by Allen Ave in Pasadena.

It grew and became a beautiful purple fish. I wanted to prove to myself that I could take care of life. When I was young, I had turtles and fishes, but somehow they all died fast (according to my memory). Every time a fish died, I felt a bit of my soul sadden. Our family had a dog for one day, named Arnold. My mom decided to return it because it was clingy like a kid and she could not bear having another kid around the house.

I think I literally cried until my eyes looked like a puff fish.

After my fishes Allen and Catalina died on the same day, I had dreams of Allen swimming.

I was relieved and sad that they had died, and felt that it was better for me to focus on work, rather than spend time changing out water and feeding a fish.

The next day, my boyfriend came over. He was holding a petco bag that I assumed was his dinner. “Is that your dinner?” – I asked. Turns out, IT WAS A FISH! He bought me a goldfish which was much bigger than my betta fish. I had never seen a gold fish like this. I was honestly touched and surprised.

Looks like the fish is getting too big for its tank- maybe it is symbolic that I am becoming a new fish, too big for my tank. I need to get a bigger tank for my life. Perhaps YOU are growing too big for your tank, whether it is your immediate circle of influence, workplace, or life goals. Maybe you need to set new visions, expand to a bigger office, get a bigger loan and investors for your business, make more like-minded friends, quit your job and start a business…think BIGGER. 

Another lesson I gleaned from this story? Life is about trying over and over again. I heard Donald Trump went bankrupt 4 times! Look at where he is now! He is far more wiser and smarter because of his experiences. Maybe you have been hurt over a broken relationship, scarred by bad people, made mistakes that made you NOT want to try it again…don’t give up. Keep trying. 

I backpacked in the jungles of Ecuador and throughout Brazil by myself last year. If I had listened to all the fears that people were spewing, trying to warn me of dangers and diseases, I would not have experienced the incredible time of my life, listening to birds in the dark night and watching the rapids with native Ecuadoreans.

If I had listened to people asking me how I was going to afford rent when I quit my full time job, I would not be a realtor and entrepreneur today. I would not be waking up on a Thursday morning at 8:20 AM in my pajamas writing this blog (In FACT, I would be getting ready for work and driving in LA traffic- Thank GOD I don’t have to do that). 

How HAVE YOU become the person you are because you CHOSE to try again, to try bigger things despite what people said? 

How can you try again today?
