In September we are starting a new focus with The Financial Stewardship Challenge...
We are focusing on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.
Trust is one of the biggest keys to both finances and stewardship. All financial transactions require trust, and when trust is high money flows. When we exchange money with others, we want to know that they are going to do what they said, are skilled and knowledgeable, are not going to rip us off, and that they have good intentions.
Part of our role in being stewards is becoming highly trustworthy... which means we need to keep our word, be highly skilled and knowledgeable, and have good intentions to be a blessing in all transactions. The more trustworthy we are the more money flows to us.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is the ultimate example of someone who is trustworthy, and we can put our full trust in him. And we are asking for his...

We are focusing on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.
Stewardship means we are managing God's resources, and he wants his will done with his resources. One of the tests I believe we must pass is learning to walk in love consistently even when people wrong us financially. Emotions are one of the strongest drivers of emotions for most people. If you mess with people's money, they will usually let you know pretty quickly.
But, as stewards of God's resources he has called us to a higher standard of walking in love consistently. When someone wrong's us financially, we can let it go and forgive, because we trust that God will make it right.
In today's communion we are asking God for wisdom and understanding of why walking in love by trusting God is so important. And we are asking him to help us walk in this at highe...

An important step in finances is to build some margin into our budget, where things are not so tight all the time. Something I have learned is that when we build margin into the budget, God's grace seems to flow. Margin allows you to handle the unexpected in a graceful way.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the connection between margin and grace. And we are asking for his help to build margin into our budgets consistently.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
We can also build margin into our workouts. Do your best and make your workouts beautiful but leave a little margin.
I am praying for you.

Our first step was taking accounting by listing out all of your current assets, liabilities(debts), and expected expenses and income for this month.
Yesterday we talked about taking quick action on the things we know to do because... Money Likes Speed.
But how we make decisions with our finances is very important. I view partnership as the table turner for finances. It is the one thing that can turn finances around faster than anything else. But this means that all financial decisions need to be made in full agreement with all of the partners.
Our first partner is God. If you are married, your spouse is the next partner that must be in agreement with all decisions. If you have business partners, partners in ministry, etc then decisions need to also ...
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.
We are almost a week into the 40 Days of Teshuva. Teshuva = turning or repenting. This is an amazing time of year for answered prayer and making adjustments.
These 40 days are a reminder to make adjustments and course correct any areas that are off track. It's also a reminder to DO WHAT YOU KNOW TO DO. What are you procrastinating on? This is the time to take action
One of the areas of focus on taking action is in the area of finances. This month our focus is on financial stewardship. Are there any financial steps that you know to take... specifically any relationships that are being strained because of financial reasons. If so, how can you take a step to make it right?
Here is this week's filter(reminder) to write at the top of our journals each day... Teshuva - What do you know to do?
I am praying for you.

Our bodies are another thing we can steward. As we meditate on financial stewardship, lets also take a moment to evaluate how we are doing in stewarding our health.
I am praying for you.

This month our challenge is to connect on a new level... With God, our purpose, our loved ones, and community.
Here is what we have worked on so far...
This week we are focusing on connecting with our community.
Today's communion is a much shorter and very simple one... but also very powerful. Today we are focusing on peace and joy during our time of communion. Something I have learned is that when we are truly in faith, peace comes right along with it. The two go together. And when we are present there is joy. Therefore, peace and joy can be our indicators of taking communion with faith and presence.
As we take communion today, let's ramp up our gratitude for the body of Jesus, which should lead to a great level of peace immediately during and after taking the bread. Then while taking communion let's rejoice ...
