Coming soon: Buying a House Debt-Free

This was posted on February 28, 2014 by Sarah Maxwell.

We’re getting excited. A new book is almost launched.

For a long time Dad’s dream has been to encourage families that it is possible for young men to purchase a home debt-free before marriage. Yes, three of the Maxwell guys have done it so far, but did you know there are other young men around the United States who have too?

Living in a world where mortgages and debt are the norm, one may feel this is not possible. Take heart. In this dynamic new book, my parents share practically how it is achievable.

Watch for Monday’s post about one young man who purchased his home without debt (and he’s not a Maxwell!).

Watch for Tuesday’s announcement on the new book. You’ll be able to pre-order it too.

Be ready to climb for new heights in this debt-free adventure!

“Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.”
Proverbs 24:27

Hi y’all,

Here are the pictures I promised. Ruthanne was an easy baby to work with since she slept most of the time. Joshua was full of energy and added his spark to the session too!

Serving Jesus,

I’ll share some of the newborn photos that we took of Ruthanne Elizabeth with you soon, but I couldn’t resist posting some of these photos taken with Ruthanne’s cousins to brighten your day.

Uncle Christopher is going to tickle someone!

Christina loves Ruthanne. She calls her "Roofanne." — Christina loves Ruthanne. She calls her “Roofanne.”

Abby loves babies too and is looking forward to her new little brother or sister’s arrival this year!

Christina’s first time to hold Ruthanne (with some help!).

Lots of Giggles While Capturing Photos

Today I helped Christopher with newborn photos of Ruthanne. We also did a special photo session with the girl cousins. Their headbands are all from Snugars.com, a great company founded by homeschooled young ladies. I can’t wait to share other photos from our session later.

Joyfully His,
Sarah

Ruthanne Elizabeth: Our Beautiful Gift from God

This was posted on February 19, 2014 by Sarah Maxwell.

Ruthanne Elizabeth was born at 6:32 p.m. yesterday and weighed exactly 9 pounds (she’ll be measured later).

The Lord blessed us with a wonderful delivery here at home with the help of our midwife (she’s delivered more than 2,000 babies, and she was Mom’s midwife for John, Anna, Jesse, and Mary). Both Mommy and Baby are doing great!

We appreciate and are grateful for your prayers, not only during the pregnancy and delivery but also in the years ahead.

Ruth – “Companion”
Anne – “Graceful”
Elizabeth – “Consecrated to God”

“One whose life is dedicated to serving God and whose gracious spirit enables her to be a faithful companion to others.”

Hebrews 12:28: “Let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.”

Rejoicing in His mercy,
Christopher, Anna Marie, Joshua, and Ruthanne
