The older I get, the more I think about stewardship.
When I was younger, I thought stewardship was mostly about money.
Giving.
Managing.
Being responsible.
But I’m beginning to realize stewardship reaches so much further than that.
My life itself has been entrusted to me.
My words.
My time.
My relationships.
My gifts.
My opportunities.
Even the difficult seasons I never would have chosen.
None of them were ever truly mine to begin with.
They’re all things God has placed in my hands for a little while.
That changes the questions I ask.
Instead of asking,
“How much can I accomplish?”
I find myself asking,
“Am I being faithful with what’s already been entrusted to me?”
Because one day I won’t give an account for someone else’s life.
Only my own.
How I loved.
How I spoke.
How I forgave.
How I used the gifts God gave me.
How I cared for the people He placed in my path.
How I responded to both joy and suffering.
I’ve realized stewardship isn’t about perfection.
It’s about faithfulness.
It’s waking up each morning and quietly praying,
“Lord, help me care well for everything You’ve placed in my hands today.”
Not because I’m trying to earn His approval.
But because everything I have has always been His.
Maybe living faithfully isn’t about chasing a bigger life.
Maybe it’s about stewarding this one well.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
— 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
Where I Found My Voice 
What a gift!! Your blogs always put everything in perspective for me! Thank you for enriching the lives of others too, even those whom you’ll never know! But God will know, and I think He believes you are a good steward with what he has given you, with your gift, with the loving care you pour out on all your family and especially with the perfect little soul he has given you for you to lead back to him! Love yall dearly!
