This is your reminder:
You don’t need permission from the future version of you.
You need permission from the present one.
Start where you are. But don’t stay where you are.
Finance Girl Nextdoor Reminder:
Growth begins the moment you stop shrinking your financial possibilities
And over time, that “slightly” began to add up.
Financial growth didn’t feel like a big leap anymore.
It felt like a decision she kept repeating.
If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to grow financially,
Permission to make mistakes without quitting.
Permission to believe, “I can handle more than this.”
So I changed one thing.
Not everything. Just one thing.
I started again, this time slightly bigger than before. Slightly braver. Slightly more open to growth.
One day, after another cycle of “I’ll start later,” I realized something simple but uncomfortable:
I wasn’t protecting my money; I was limiting it.
Because money doesn’t just grow from effort.
It grows from permission.
Permission to learn.
Permission to start small and still move
Every time I thought about investing more or trying something new, I’d hear a quiet voice in my head:
“What if I lose it all?”
"What if I’m not ready yet?”
So I waited.
But life didn’t wait with me.
Allow Yourself Grow Financially
I used to think money growth was for “other people.”
People who had it figured out.
People who started early.
People who never made mistakes.
So I stayed small with my money decisions.
Small savings.
No risks.
Small expectations.
Shalom Saints, Sometime this year, while touring the US, I felt a leading to jump into the studio with my team to record an unplugged version of the song JEHOVAH SHAMMAH (one of our oldies)
The LORD inspired me to write two more verses - one on Jehovah Nissi and the other on Jehovah Jireh, in addition to the one on SHAMMAH.
It’s a powerful song of prayer, worship and assurance, especially in these very uncertain times. This is one song you want to share with friends and family, teach your children, and loop over and over again as you pray, work and even play.
So beloved, as the year draws to a close, I put this calm, solemn yet poignant declaration in your hand. it is one to declare everyday as 2025 lurks around the corner and even more so, as you go through it and onwards. It would inspire faith like never before, build a holy confidence and trust in God, unshakable in a shaking world that is trembling politically with wars and rumours of wars, unprecendented level of insecurity, unstable and failing economies, and even more so, a world in spiritual and moral decline never witnessed before. One the Bible aptly describes as GROSS DARKNESS. But for you and I, there has never been a better time to arise and shine as lights and as beacons of love and hope.
Friends, I can’t wait to share this with you. It is part of our up coming album - THE RIVER - A spiritual adventure and journey into the RIVER OF GOD.
Here’s the verse on Jehovah Nissi. You need to hear the one on Jehovah Jireh… 😌
Watch out
You are blessed.
