I have started to get more serious about putting myself out there as a writer. I started this (new) blog to get me back into the process of writing for a large audience. I also signed up for Associated Content (finally) and currently have three items published on their site. One is a creative short story, another is a fun article for teachers about April Fool's Day, and the third is the article below. A wide range of submissions, you say? Indeed. I haven't quite found my niche and am exploring all of the avenues. Plus, I'm showcasing my (1) ability to adapt and (2) well-rounded-ness.
The third submission to Associated Content was for their Business and Financial section. I chose to write about my progress with Financial Peace University with a unique spin. I am very (VERY) impressed that this piece was published (in the Business and Finance section) because it is heavy on biblical reference. I'm so proud that I stayed true to myself and allowed myself to listen to the message that God placed on my heart. I'm incredibly grateful that He is exemplified and glorified through this posting on a mainstream site. Enjoy!
My Financial Makeover
Undoing a Lifetime of the Wrong Thinking
By Meagan RaeAnyone who knows me knows that I'm huge on God. I pray multiple times daily. I praise at home, in my car, and at church. I teach preschool Sunday school and am a member of the Young Adult bible study group. I love Jesus and am so incredibly blessed to know Him. Yet I struggle daily with remembering the ways I need to honor God. There are some areas which I need to work on. Not many are aware that we are to honor Him with our money. Proverbs 3:9 reads, "Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase." This means being responsible with finances and faithfully tithing. I do tithe - and faithfully. But I do not honor God with my finances.
