Oh my goodness. What a crazy fun experience! I had an absolute blast and I’m sure it will rank right up there as a life highlight for quite some time.
Ten minutes goes SUPER fast. There was so much more I could have said, and wanted to say, but I was really happy with what we talked about. I guess the rest is just good blog posts for the next week right?
So apparently the 450 radio stations that cover Dave have the ability to “mix up” his hours and it could air over the next 48 hours. So if you’re trying to catch me on a local station I can’t tell you when I’ll be on.
So instead you can just listen here. I’d love to hear what you think. Do you have questions I didn’t address? If so, ask them in the comments and I’ll do some Q&A posts this week.
Interview on The Dave Ramsey Show: June 7, 2011
Dave’s intro cracked me up!
Okay, I just listened to the whole thing and I do have to say this. If your adoption is costing $30,000 that’s STILL not an excuse to go into debt. I know families who have raised that much and done it debt-free!!!
We stepped out in faith and God provided BIG time!
A sweet Twitter follower, Stacy Kennedy, lives in Brentwood, Tenn. and she went down to the DR offices and took 2 photos for me while the interview was happening.
Look, it’s Dave…talking to ME! With my book sitting in front of him.
And my name, “in lights”, check out the computer monitor, right above the clock where it has my name in the green highlight bar 🙂
Way to go for God, daughter! We are proud of you and your whole family. Do I forecast more grandkid care on the horizon as your “international speaking” engagements expand, having hubby along for his effective speaking contributions?
Does this mean you have “arrived”? It was really neat to see your book in front of him while he was on the air talking to you and your name in green lights no less. But the interview was great. How did you stay so calm and collected? You are as amazing as I always thought you were!
Wow Julie! Amazing!! Just listend to your interview with Dave! You did so great! Your story is going to touch so many families! My prayers go out to you and Mark as you continue to share your story; love you guys!
I caught you on the radio yesterday…you did great!
My husband and I are in the process of adopting from our state foster program (OK). So far, we have only had to spend $35 each for our check ups at the doctor, and an additional $40 for the required household safety items (2nd story emergency ladder, extra smoke detector). We initially had planned on adopting internationally, but after praying and opening our hearts to what God wanted for our family, we realized that there are many sibling groups that because of their large size and ages will likely never be adopted. Our hearts were broken for a group of 4, and just last week our homestudy was accepted. We should be assigned a caseworker any day and hope to request to be considered as their adoptive family. If all goes through, we will go from a family of 5 to a family of 9. We don’t make much money, but we have seen God provide for us in ways that made NO sense, and we are committed to living in a way that honors him. Since we won’t have adoption expenses per se, we will be starting our fundraising for a van- the only vehicle that will fit
all of us! I look forward to using the ideas in your book for this journey! God bless you for this ministry!
Very well done, Julie. Since I missed it yesterday, I have to say thanks for posting the clip here. I shared the clip on our blog. 🙂
Julie, that was great! You did an excellent job, especially considering the fact you were talking to THE Dave Ramsey with millions listening on. Congratulations, and good luck with the book sales. I imagine this exposure is going to give you a huge boost. Hope you guys are well.
Julie-
Great job and great poise! I hope you sell a ton of books! Impressive!
Hi,
I loved it! Great job!
This gave me goosebumps! Great job, Julie. 🙂
