I’m sharing all my little business on these blogs, but it’s alright because I know I’m in good company. I hope that my words resonate with at least one of you. There’s comfort in knowing we’re all walking this path of growth together, navigating the ups and downs of life under God’s guidance.
My Heavenly Father has been walking me through so much since I was graciously broken—a moment that left me vulnerable yet open to His gentle, transformative work. It began with learning my identity in Christ, then moved to forgiveness—a tough lesson that required more patience and grace than I thought possible. Then came the waiting, the promises, and more waiting… and oh, the lessons didn’t stop there.
God has taken me on a journey through every aspect of my life—from wrestling with pride and battling sin, to facing the depths of lust and being stripped of anything that didn’t align with His will. Every step was challenging, but each was necessary for my growth.
And now… He’s stuck His nose in my finances.
I never thought this would be the area He’d target next. It’s one thing to surrender my heart, my relationships, my desires—but my finances? That felt different. I wanted to hold on to control, thinking it was up to me to manage, to make ends meet, to secure my future. Yet, here He is, asking me to release even this part of my life to Him.
“Why, Lord?” I wondered. Why are You touching this part too? But the answer, as always, is because He wants all of me. Not just the parts I’m willing to give up, not just the parts that feel easy to surrender, but every single area. And deep down, I know it’s because He loves me too much to leave me where I am. He wants me to grow, to thrive, and to trust Him completely—even with my bank account.
It’s humbling, isn’t it? Realizing that every part of our lives, even the ones we’d rather keep to ourselves, are under His authority. Stewardship isn’t just about tithing or financial generosity; it’s about recognizing that everything we have belongs to Him and is meant to be used for His glory.
So, here I am, reluctantly yet obediently allowing God to show me what it means to be a wise steward. I’m learning to let go of my desire for control, trusting that He will provide as I align my financial decisions with His will. It’s not easy—I’ve made mistakes, stumbled, and let my flesh lead at times. But I am committed to walking this out because I know He’s not just interested in my actions but my heart.
Ladies, I challenge you to take a look at the areas of your life where God might be calling you to steward better. It might be your time, your gifts, your relationships, or like me, your finances. Wherever it is, let’s lean into His gentle guidance, knowing that He cares deeply about every detail of our lives.
I am here, walking this road with you, stewarding what He’s given me—flaws, failures, and all—because I believe in the God who takes the broken pieces of our lives and turns them into something beautiful for His kingdom. Keep pressing forward, knowing you are never alone, and that every surrendered area is another step closer to becoming who He’s called you to be.
What areas in your life is He inviting you to steward better? Let’s embrace this journey together, trusting Him with every part.
