Seasonal Changes and Faith Walks
I have a friend in Jamaica and a few years ago she shared that she loves to see the colors of the trees in Fall. While she works closely with plants in Jamaica, the trees don’t turn the colors that they do in the US. While we’ve been having some fantastic fall foliage, I remembered […]
God’s Loving Care
Last week, on my way to get my daughter’s hair done, out of nowhere, my car started swerving. The first miracle I observed was that I was within feet of a gas station. The second one, while someone was close behind me, I quickly put my four way flasher on and they pulled back. I […]
A Biblical View of Insurance Products
This article was written by my CFAN colleague in July. Jul 23 Written By Ben Wacek, CFP®, CKA® While the Bible doesn’t give us many great examples of insurance products specifically, it does talk about how we are to respond to threats. King Jehoshaphat sets a good example in 2 Chronicles 20 (NIV): Some people came […]
It May Not Make Sense
My daughter is home as she has a day of asynchronous learning. I hear her both doing her work, but choosing to partner up with other kids in her class to get it done. A few minutes into her trying to solve a particular problem, she yells: ‘mom, I need your help’. She rarely asks […]
Season of Remembrance
Some years ago, eight and a half years ago to be specific, as I had just moved into my new home, I wrote down a prayer. However, at the end of the prayer, I specifically asked God to lead. I was tired of doing the same thing, and expecting a different outcome. I truly was […]
Sometimes We Need To Pivot
Last year, after I attended a conference, the tickets for this year went on sale at the early bird rate. I purchased the ticket. Who doesn’t want a discount for a conference I’ll be attending? As the months progressed, I realized that my heart was no longer sure if I wanted to attend, but, I […]
Do You Have Peace In Your Financial Life?
Sep 24 Written By Kaysian “Kaysi” Gordon, CFP®, CKA®, CPA, MBA Before we even begin, I want to stop and rephrase the question: is it even possible to have peace in our financial lives? As I was listening to a sermon titled, “Our Peace: God’s Will” by the late Dr. Charles Stanley, the question of whether […]
When You Think You’ve Been Forgotten
Someone reached out to me earlier this year to do an interview for their organization that was geared towards young girls. As a mom to a daughter, and generally a lover of little kids, once I confirmed that it was legit, my answer was a resounding yes. As we neared the process of finishing the […]
The Desires of Our Hearts
Today is my birthday and normally, I keep a very low profile, but this year, I wanted to be intentional with the celebration. There are some things I have been learning about myself and decided it was time to make changes in areas that were important to me. One of them was being intentional in […]
Trust Him
I started writing some years ago because I needed to process my thoughts with God. I’ve tended to keep everything close to the vest, so, writing became the outlet I needed. Then God told me that I should share publicly. As I’ve shared before, I came up with every excuse I could, but apparently none […]
