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

When You Think You’ve Been Forgotten

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 […]
We Can End Well
As a last summer hoorah, my mom friend and I decided to take our girls to the bowling alley. The girls excitedly called out the order they wanted to play in. None of us were real bowlers. This was just a game for fun. As we commenced the game, I noticed that some were scoring […]
