Parents are spending an average of $144 on school supplies for the new school year. Families say they are definitely feeling the financial stress this summer. (You're not alone!) "More than half of shoppers said they planned to buy less overall because of their financial situation, according to a survey by KPMG." What's the one part of back to school economics that tends to push your stress over the top personally?

Parents of children in kindergarten through high school are spending an average of $144, and that’s coming as families are feeling financial stress.

My kids head back to class this week. I quietly feel like the summer adventures are over for us, but I'm also excited about putting some structure into my life again. I’m also realizing that peace doesn’t come from perfect planning. It doesn’t come from having the world’s most color coded calendar. Isaiah 26:3 reminds me that peace comes from fixing my mind on God—not on whether I remembered to sign the field trip form. When I shift my trust from “Do I have this all covered?” to “God has this covered,” I can breathe again—even in the madness.

And listen, I don’t have to stockpile strength for the entire school year. That’s a losing game. Lamentations 3 tells me "His mercies are new every morning," not recycled, not rationed—new. I don’t have to win the whole year. I just have to ask for grace for today. One day. One win. That’s it.

Most importantly? I’m not fighting for my kids’ hearts alone. Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” I’ve got teenagers - so yes, I’m guiding, teaching, correcting, and driving all over creation - but I’m learning I don’t have to carry the whole thing on my back. God is in this. He loves them even more than I do. He’s working, even when I can’t see it. - Scott Herrold

We’re basically as close to 2050 as we were to 2000. How did we get this old? And where is the flying car I was supposed to have by now?

As you set your goals for 2025, what if you thought about them in terms of building God’s kingdom rather than building your own empire? Paul David Tripp reminds us, “God makes people great—not for their glory, but for His.”

Instead of focusing on personal success or recognition, consider where God might be growing you to make an eternal impact for His purpose in 2025.

You can learn a lot about someone by watching them make a waffle in a hotel lobby. Some people look around to make sure they have all the tools they need before they pour the batter on the hot iron. Some measure the batter out precisely. Some stop and read through the instructions. Almost all of them ignore the non stick cooking spray.

Watch for the person who actually stops & takes time to clean up the mess they left behind.
