I got engaged yesterday 😁

@5Solas2 Monarch isn’t perfect but I’ve found it to be pretty accurate. I just go in and manually edit the ones it misses or incorrectly categorizes.

Why can't budget apps, with all the current AI technology, track obvious recurring payments? They literally have recurring in the transaction name and they don't find them. That's Rocket Money and Monarch. Anyone have any better suggestions?

The amount of last minute “hey we can’t make it cause of X” and “Hey our plans changed and we can make it” and the “Got any room for a +1?” that you get in the final week before your wedding is a lot. Invitations and RSVP is by far the most stressful part of wedding planning

Life’s good. I’m grateful. Thank you Lord! 🙌🏼

What does it mean to rejoice in Christ? In this video, Dr. Michael Reeves describes how Christians can understand the call to rejoice and find joy in all circumstances.

“Sing to the Lord, bless his name; proclaim his salvation from day to day.” Psalms 96:2

“Mankind, with his assets but without understanding, is like the animals that perish.” Psalms 49:20

Justification gets you out of Egypt, but sanctification gets Egypt out of you.

What comes first usually sets the tone for the rest of the day. So give the first thought of the day to God, not your worries.

We can have no true knowledge of God, desire towards him, access unto him, or gracious communications from him, but in and through the Son of his love.

“Every promise of God's Word belongs to all those who have the faith to grasp it.” — Charles Spurgeon

“For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are. C.S. Lewis

“God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.” — Charles Spurgeon

This pretty lady has her final fitting for her wedding dress today.

I need to understand the miracle of the finished work of the cross every day.

If God has saved you and given you His Spirit, praise Him for it! It’s a gift that we so easily take for granted if we’re not careful.

“How safe are all God’s people! Not even the least of them can be lost.” — Charles Spurgeon

“Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds as expressed in your evil actions. But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through his death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before him —” Colossians 1:21-22 Woah 🤯

“He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14
