Are You Tending Your Garden?
This year as planting season was upon us, I was excited. I’m not one who normally likes to play in dirt, but for the last few years, I’ve planted a few things, including tomatoes. For me, they serve as powerful lessons of what God can do when I give Him my little and do my […]
What is Stewardship
Aug 22 Written By Kaysian “Kaysi” Gordon, CFP®, CKA®, CPA, MBA Stewardship is a topic that is very dear to my heart. As I’ve studied more on the subject, I first have to ask the question: What is stewardship? In going through my Kingdom Advisors coursework, the definition that was shared is “utilizing and managing all...
Negative Self Talk
Repost from a few years ago.. In the last day or so, I’ve heard my 5 year old starting to speak negatively over herself. As we were in the car she might have started fussing over something and I told her no. Not in an angry way – but the final answer was no. She […]
An Unusual Experience
I had an unusual experience with a mechanic. Unfortunately, based on my previous experience, it is unusual. My car inspection was expiring and as I knew I would be going away, tried to get it done. I needed very convenient, so I opted to someone walking distance from me. My car failed inspection. The mechanic […]
To Be Loved Well
I met a new friend this week and as I observed how we interacted with each other and were learning about each other, I asked her how she liked to show and be shown love. I explained to her that of the five love languages, mine was words of affirmation. I love to affirm others […]
Our Words
As I prayed and contemplated what to share, the devotion ‘The Power of Words’ had a marker. I kept looking past this place because it did not seem to grab my attention. After some time, I landed right back to this devotion and the verse associated with it is Matthew 12:34b, which states ‘Out of […]
Automate Your Savings and Your Life
Some years ago, when I just finished college, but right before I started my accounting career, I started using the credit cards that had been provided at the school gate. Do you remember those days? If you sign up, you get a free t-shirt or something free – so it was very easy to sign up. Little did […]
Make the Call
This past week was an emotionally difficult one. I imagine we all experience highs and lows as we are navigating life, but sometimes just an unexpected message can do so much to buoy our spirits during that time. As I sat at my desk working and navigating life (it doesn’t stop no matter what else […]
Keep Writing It Down
I like to write things down. I’m not sure where the habit came from, maybe it was to collect my thoughts. Maybe it was so that I could articulate better my wishes, or maybe, just so I can actually remember the things I want for myself. But somehow, many years ago, I started writing things […]
He is Able…
I saw this morning’s Bible verse of the day and had to smile as I remembered an incident from just yesterday. The verse comes from Ephesians 3:20 ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us’ As I was […]
