I'm currently an insurance advisor and training to be a financial advisor by next year. One of the things this career taught me was to put my finances in order. Not that I was naturally messed up in this aspect, it just so happen that a few years back, my husband and I were caught in a financial disarray due to health issues. We accumulated quite a load of credit card and personal debts.
Now, I believe that for me to be an effective financial advisor, I have to clean up my yard first because who would believe me as an advisor when my own financial state is chaotic? I think no one in his or her right mind would.
Today, I thank the Lord for putting me in a career where I won't just be helping myself, but helping others achieve financial freedom as well. Thank you, Lord, for teaching me how to be a good steward and most of all thank you for making it very clear that I am exactly where you wanted me to be.
All glory to God!
