Stand Still and Know

It's been a minute. I was sick last week and never got around to blogging, but that's not because it wasn't eventful.

I completed the Personal Net Worth worksheet. It was difficult seeing how few assets I owned at this point in my life. The good thing is my debt wasn't too much either. I can't let my past mistakes hold me back. When I get back to work, I want to start on-track with controlled spending, savings and investing to change my financial future. That's why the Financial GPS classes are so important.

The key lesson: It all belongs to God anyway; I am only the steward. Time to start being a wise one.

I was pretty low on Friday because I couldn't meet a basic need for my daughter, and they were all beginning to keep expenses from me because they didn't want to stress me since I was "broke". Being a parent who couldn't provide made me feel broken.

On the weekend we were blessed with financial gifts that met our needs and left a surplus. Although I like being the one to pay their expenses, I need to understand that, as sole owner, God has the right decide how to provide for our needs.

I thank You, God for the humility You are teaching me in this process.
