Wake up and don't do taxes
This morning I woke up early headed to my office to sit down for my quiet time. My computer is on my desk and I have recently been racking my brain over taxes. Instead of going to the Bible, I thought I would briefly check on my turbo tax, I was sucked in and there went my quiet time. am one of the few that gets excited to do taxes, or used to get excited. Maybe because every year I can expect a return. This year I started my own small business, I have put away more then enough to cover me for tax time. But my expectation, was I am going to get to keep most of what I saved. Cause com'on the government wont take 30% of my gross. But sure enough between both state and federal; I wanted a return and instead I'm getting... well this is a Christian blog and I wont publish those unkind words. But I am not too happy today. Here is the point though, I woke up this morning and instead of turning to my helper to establish a good foundation for my day. Instead doing what I know I should, I did want I thought I must. I thought I must solve this problem and figure taxes out first so then I will feel better. I didn't feel better! The more I dug into them, the more problems came up.So my day started with a real nice resentment against ol' uncle Sam. I did have a moment of realization when I was not being so kind to my wife because I was in fear over money. I have now gone to my father asked for his forgiveness, and Kelly too, and decided that from now on I must make God and the time I spend with him my priority, or it wont matter what the bank account says even if its doing great. I will not have the fulfillment I am seeking, but better yet when things don't work out the way I wanted them too. God can show me he had me and my problems in mind all along, and its all going to work out ok.

Right there with you bud. That battle is one that has been waged since the beginning of time. And it is one I struggle with too. Be encouraged, friend, that God will bless your business as you trust the details to Him. He's a pretty good accountant!
