This post is to encourage you to avail yourself to seminars,
conferences and classes. I know it costs
money to attend and it takes planning for your family and sometimes rearranging
schedules. We need to recognize the need
for concentrated growth in our lives.
Just like vacation time is important to relax and refocus our lives at
times. Times of investing in the Word of
God, and classes/seminars that better our lives are necessary. It is nice to go to a one day class, but
there is a difference in a week long immersion if you would.
Twice a year my pastor hosts a Financial Freedom
Seminar. We just attended the first week
in October, then went into another week of meetings with a special guest
speaker at our church. While it is still
October I wanted to share a little of what I received. The Seminar is titled Financial Freedom but
it is so much more.
Attending classes and growing in your budgeting skills is part of becoming great at living by a budget. It is in attending classes and seminars like the one above where I learned how to budget, where I learned about the envelope system. Tips on saving, vacationing, paying off debt and other financial principles.
We discussed finances, budgeting, living debt free, being a giver, but we also discussed many other things. We learned how our finances affect our marriage, family life, and spiritual life.

We learned how to kill our fear app that is running, just
like using Advanced Task Killer on your cell phone to kill those apps that
drain your battery. In life we have apps
that run in our mind if we do not recognize these apps, we can feel tired,
drained, in fear and not even know why.
We discussed the love of God.
People shared tips on how they meditate on the love of God.
We discussed times we walked in complete love with people
and realized the importance of living a life of walking in love.
We discussed the importance of married couples walking in
love and staying in unity for their children and grandchildren. I saw in a greater way the importance of my
children seeing their grandparents happy and in love. In this day and age we live in with the
divorce rate so high both in the secular world and in the church our kids need
to see marriage works.
Someone recently mentioned how young girls these days do not
want to get married right away like when I was growing up and times before. I know education and career goals and dreams
are important, but there is a shift if you notice. The age of women getting married and starting
a family is no longer the 20’s but 30’s and 40’s. I am not saying one is better than the other,
just noting another perspective is, if young girls see marriage as something
miserable or something that ties you down and keeps you from living your dream
career, what hope do we have for our children to have a healthy image of
married life. If they see couples
fighting and living separate lives and not walking in unity, why would they
want to join the married club.
We had great fellowship with other believers, encouraging
each other, sharing with each other.
Below you will find information on the Financial Freedom
Seminar which takes place every year in October and March. No matter where you live, you can join us
on-line via live stream. Make plans now
to attend in March, start budgeting money for the event, request the time off
work early.
I also want to encourage you if you attend a local church
that hosts seminars avail yourself to them.
Take time to invest in your spiritual life; attend marriage seminars,
seminars to better hone your job skills, parenting classes, etc.
