Happy Tax Deadline Day!

Pastor's sermon on Breaking Free from Financial Captivity was great on Sunday. I don't think that Aaron and I are "held captive" by our finances, but our finances can definately be a topic of frustration and tension sometimes. We've needed to re-work our budget ever since we bought our house and Pastor's sermon on Sunday inspired us to sit down and actually do it. It feels so good to have a financial plan to go by each month. It feels even better to see the percent of income we're giving back to God each month through the Dominate Campaign and our regular offering to Elevation each week. Six months ago, I doubted that we would be able to do without the money we're giving away. Now, I see how God has blessed us with so much more because we've been faithful to His calling on our lives.

We're excited about the year to come. Now that Aaron has done our taxes on his own, we're more educated about the tax-submission process. We're aware of the deductions we need to be keeping track of over the next year and the changes we need to make on our W-4s. Oh, the joys of being an offical "grown-up"...

Happy Tax Deadline Day! Be sure to get your taxes submitted before midnight :)
