Stewardship

It was a whirlwind of a summer.  I went to interview at Tech in early May, we worked a lot preparing the house to show, I had a couple of work trips in June, we moved to Lubbock in mid July, and then we took a quick vacation. Father provided a buyer at the end of July, we started school mid August, and we closed on the sale of our house last week.  I am so thankful for Him providing a buyer.  He was so faithful to care for us through this transition into our new chapter.

Luke 16 NIV
10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?

Stewardship in the physical domain is practice for stewardship in the spiritual domain.

Father, thank you providing for us and leading us into this next chapter of our lives in Lubbock.  I want to be faithful to leverage physical resources to advance your Kingdom.  I want to live a king/priest example in my family and in my new leadership role at work; I want to take care of my wife and kids and the people in our research team.  Holy Spirit, I need you every moment.  I love you.
