Budget Season

The air is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, Saturdays are full of college football and falling leaves (at least in places that aren't Southern California).  Yep, it's budget time.
 
I love Budget Season.  It's a lot of work and can be frustrating, but it always gives me the opportunity to do some much needed evaluation.  It's a time of reflection on what went right and what went wrong over the past year.  You get to learn from your mistakes (hopefully), redefine your goals, and hone your strategies.  It's a time for new ideas and fresh perspectives.
 
I'm hoping that if I approach this Budget Season in prayer and honesty, new possibilities that haven't shown up on the brainstorming lists will become providentially evident.  It seems to usually work out that way.
 
So here's to number crunching, new hope, possibility, anticipation, and faith!
