Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that though still in a rental house, I feel an inner joy and freedom already since we were hurting from paying monthly rent. Often , the Landlord could come shout at us due to non-payment since my husband is a fisherman and income is low. I really thank God that soon we shall own our own house.Thank you very much.
