I was reminded tonight that everything I am and everything I own is God's. The sermon wasn't just talking about money either. My children are God's. My husband is God's. My house is God's. Everything. Am I being a good steward?
In some areas I think yes. I think we use our money reasonably wisely. We are generous and although the world may look at how we spend our money and think we're foolish, I think God is proud. I take alright care of my house. I clean it regularly and when something breaks, Nathan fixes it. But I certainly didn't take good care of my garden. I had TONS of weeds. So that's an area I can improve on.
My body is an area that could definitely be worked on. I eat a lot of sugar and so not exercise. Although I'm considered skinny and a healthy weight, I know how I treat my body isn't good. But it's not mine, so I need to do better.
My time. Man I waste so much time. God didn't give me 24 hours to waste 4 of them a day. I certainly need to use my time better.
My kids. I let Jace watch a reasonable amount of TV in a day because I'm lazy and exhausted. Obviously I can do better in this area.
My husband. I don't always respect Nathan or choose my words wisely. I can definitely treat him better and love him more.
So yes, there are lots of areas for improvement. God reminded me very clearly, it's not mine. I need to take care of what he gave me.
