Write everything down.  And I do mean  everything.  Get a  bullet journal  or the  planner  I mention below, and use it to write down everything that pops into your head that might need to be done. Don't evaluate whether the thing is important or essential or totally skippable. If you think about it, write it down. Writing things down signals your brain to let go of them because they're recorded. It frees you up to think about the stuff that really matters. Use a goal-setting planner.  I have used the same iBloom paper planner for four or five years, as long as they've been publishing it. It's a great planner designed for home and business use, and it tracks goals and progress towards them. I love it. But during Amazon Prime Day last month, I saw a great deal on a  Panda Planner Pro  and bought it on impulse. I'm so glad I did because I love the Panda Planner, too and started using both every day. Basically, I scheduled my day out in my Panda Planner every morning

Powerful  Bible  Verses about Love to Encourage You: 1. ”The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone.

But how can one keep warm alone?" ―  Ecclesiastes 4:9 3. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ do

Wouldn’t it be nice if having a relationship with God meant never having to worry or stress about money again?  Actually, that’s possible. But not because God fills our bank account with money when we surrender our lives to Him. Like with every aspect of our lives, God wants a relationship with us in which we are dependent on Him, and trusting Him with all that we have. He wants us to keep  Him  as our God, not what we have or what we’d like to have.  1. Realize it's not about the money. I’m convinced that our financial stability depends on how much we trust God rather than on how much we make. It’s really not about the money, how hard you work, and how wisely you’ve invested. Our financial situation is almost  always  about trust.  I used to get a little disillusioned during my college years, thinking  If God, my Father, owns the cattle on a thousand hills  ( Psalm 50:10 )  why is it that I can’t even afford a hamburger?  I’ve learned since then that it isn’t about whet
