I am not saying to sell ALL your possessions and give it ALL to the less fortunate, but I know firsthand that decluttering your life by getting rid of some of your material stuff is both refreshing and cleansing. Even better, you will also feel good about giving a portion of the proceeds to those who are truly in need while at the same time setting a little cash aside in your savings. That sure beats having these old items just sitting around taking up room and collecting dust.
Luke 14:28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” I have said that “more money doesn’t equal more money” but more money can definitely come from spending less. No matter how much you [...]
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Luke 12:33-34 I am not saying to sell ALL [...]
There are two groups for whom I am very passionate about helping. They are single moms and military families. I like helping other folks too, but I have a special place in my heart for my single moms because honestly I just don’t know how you do it. I am married and also have in-laws [...]

Luke 16:11 (NIV) “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” People that are successful managing worldly wealth have no secret powers or smarter than anyone else. Success has less to do with what you know and more with what you do! Setting goals, making [...]
Money Exceptions to the Rule As I get my presentation ready for The Life of a Single Mom’s National Conference, I know I have only 30 minutes to share as much as I can and make it relevant and applicable for single moms from all walks of life. Moms in their 20s, their 30s, their [...]
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to have fun. Since there was a re-make, I won't have to give away my age, but [...]
2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” You may be thinking that Steve is supposed to be writing about saving money, getting out of debt, or any number of topics [...]
God never promised us that our lives would be easy but as Paul says in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” You know as well as I do that nobody plans on things going wrong but many times life just happens. When things do go wrong, especially after a [...]
Before I get into the money stuff, if you were one of the lucky mom’s that attended the National TLSM Single Mom Conference in June, I am not sharing anything that you didn’t get to experience first-hand.
