Tax preparation is a year-round endeavor, not just a "tax time" scramble. Staying organized is key for "small business" owners to reduce stress and ensure wise "money management". Good "data management" is crucial for accurate tax preparation and financial clarity.

Scattered schedules lead to scattered spending—and scattered spending leads to stress. 😩 But when you build a simple plan, a steady routine, and a spiritual rhythm, you create peace… even when the kids are going full MMA in the back seat. 😂

Stewardship isn’t just about money—it’s about your time, your energy, your rhythm.
Because when you align your routine with God’s purpose, you don’t just find productivity—you find peace.

👉 Am I spending energy on what truly

Here’s my honest take: we’re failing our kids when it comes to teaching money skills. We expect teenagers and young adults to manage finances, but we haven’t equipped them with the tools or modeled the habits ourselves.

Here’s the truth: financial stewardship IS a spiritual discipline. 💰🙏 There’s no separation between your faith and how you manage money. Stewardship isn’t just budgeting—it’s discipleship. It's trust. It's obedience.

And that means we need to start early, teach often, and reinforce it regularly.
