After clearly articulating my financial goals, I must connect my faith to this project. I'm a believer, and faith and finances are clearly intertwined - in my mind. Faith without works is dead - so I have work to do. This is not as easy to share, because I can't see the future.

Well, you're welcome to come along for the ride. I have no idea what the Lord has in store. I just believe that in 3 years, we will be paying cash for a new construction home. In the meantime, there's a lot to do. Creating the financial plan for FIRE (financial independence/retiring early) is a concrete step that I can definitely get behind. 

I'll do what I can, and leave the rest to God. That's the beauty of faith.
