God Will Pause to Save You by Autumn Dickson I got a little lost as I was reading in Abraham at 6:00 am after staying up too late reading a book. Abraham had received a vision that showed him the workmanship of the Lord's hands. He discerned a whole lot, and then the Lord started explaining some deeper things to him. I was pretty tired, and my mind drifted until I came across this verse. Abraham 3:20 The Lord thy God sent his angel to deliver thee from the hands of the priest of Elkenah. Everything was feeling a tad confusing to my tired mind until I read that verse. Interestingly enough, as I backed up and read previous verses and when I continued reading forward, verse 20 felt like an interruption. The Lord is speaking of intelligences, including His own. He is speaking of how He dwelt in the midst of them and so on and so forth. The chapter is showing His absolute majesty. But He pauses and recalls how He saved Abraham's mortal life from a priest who was trying to sacrifice him. It felt like one of the most relevant interruptions I had ever read. It felt perfectly inserted into a sermon of how Christ rules over all of His creations. Christ is powerful and wise and loving. He is the Creator and King. He has many important works that He is juggling, but He pauses long enough to save you. Saving you from a mere mortal trial is nothing and everything to Him. It is nothing in relation to His power, and it is everything in relation to His love. I want to share a story about how the Lord saved my family. Honestly, I'm not even sure the extent to which it has saved my family yet, but I feel strongly that one day I will understand just what the Lord did for us in moving us across the country. Despite all the other works that the Lord was juggling, I watched Him masterfully manipulate detail after detail after detail to put Conner on track for his life's work. I will share some details, but I don't even think I'm fully aware of all the details and timelines that the Lord set in motion to take care of us. I probably don't remember all of the details, but I will tell you of a few. Conner had told me for years that we would never leave Utah, but there had always been a nagging feeling in my heart that we would leave. I had prayed about it, and the Lord kept telling me not to worry about it. The time would come when it came, so I left it alone. Though it was likely one of the more traumatic eras of my husband's life, I felt the Lord's hand hovering over us the entire time. Moving to Virginia the first time around was wild. My husband's job had been taken away from him through a series of lies told by another person. Looking back, I am 99% certain my husband would have never left. It had to be taken away from him in order to propel him in the correct direction for his life. I praise the Lord for taking it away. That's detail number one. Conner was meant to end up out in Virginia, and so the Lord sent a friend to ask for his help. That was detail number two. The only reason I was able to get Conner out of our house and into the car was because it was a friend who had asked him to come. We lived in a hotel for three months with three kids before moving to an apartment of a friend who had moved out west. We stayed in that apartment for two months before we received a big enough miracle that even my husband couldn't ignore (he still wanted to go back to Utah). We were staying in that apartment and the contract was running out soon. We could renew it, but the price would go up to more than we could really afford (especially since the job we had moved out for wasn't working out as we hoped). I was at church one day when that lady I ministered to asked me if we had found a place to stay yet. I answered no. Now let me tell you this portion of the timeline backwards. Monday, the very next day, was when we really decided that this job was not working out with our friend. I know Conner, and I know that the moment we realized it wasn't working out, we were headed back to Utah. It was much cheaper to go back, and we had just spent inordinate amounts of money to go and stay in Virginia and it just wasn't doable anymore especially since we were leaving the job. I wouldn't have been surprised at all if we had packed up that day and drove back immediately. However, the night before this final decision about the job was made, we received a message from a lady who had been sitting next to my ministering assignment when my ministering assignment had asked me if we had somewhere to live. This lady was a stranger at the time, and I'm going to name her Jill so that we can follow the story more easily. It turns out that Jill and her family had just bought a house even though they were headed overseas for ten months. She had a friend who was supposed to live in her house while they were gone, but that fell through. So Jill looked me up since they needed someone to come and stay in their house. As it turns out, we were related distantly through marriage. After asking some questions to our mutual relatives, she messaged us the night before we would have made the decision to head back to Utah. She sent us messages about the house and immediately, Conner and I realized we wouldn't be able to afford it. We asked how much she would charge us, and it was miraculously lower than what we would spend living in Utah. That was the very first time that Conner was like, “Maybe we are supposed to be in Virginia.” We moved in almost immediately. Conner was led to a couple of other jobs that were so healthy for him and have enabled us to be exactly where we need. When we needed to come back to Utah temporarily, we found a flight pass that enabled Conner to go back and forth across the country for $25. Detail after detail after detail after detail has lined up perfectly for us to be exactly where we need. I have no idea how He set things in motion a long time ago to set these things up for us. But I do know this. In the midst of all His incredible works, He paused long enough to save my family. I know that it was both nothing and everything to Him; it was nothing in relation to His power, and it was everything in relation to His love. I was not saved from a priest who was trying to kill me like Abraham was. I don't know how many of us will face situations like that. However, the Lord can save us. Whatever you're going through, it's nothing in relation to His power, and it was everything in relation to His love. I promise you that whatever you're facing, you are safe. When placed in the context of eternity, you are safe and everything will turn out better than you can imagine. He has handled much larger things than this, and they were likewise easy for Him to handle. I testify of the power of our Lord. I testify of the love of our Lord. I testify that whatever you're going through is just a blip on the spectrum of eternity. Reading Moses and Abraham gives us a glimpse into the eternal and can help us recognize that what we're going through doesn't have to take us down completely. I testify that it's okay for things to be hard, but I also testify that nothing can defeat us if we keep close to the Lord. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

Send us a textWhen Saving More Stops Helping: Finding the Balance Between Financial Discipline and EnjoymentIn this episode of Retire Early. Retire Now, Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner and owner of Palm Valley Wealth Management, discusses the critical point at which aggressive saving stops being beneficial and starts to compromise quality of life. Addressing high-income earners who save diligently yet feel hesitant to spend, Hunter explores the concept of over-optimizing finances and its impact on day-to-day fulfillment. He provides a framework for identifying when additional saving no longer significantly benefits future financial stability and instead suggests reallocating efforts towards meaningful experiences and satisfaction. Hunter emphasizes the importance of using money as a tool to enhance life rather than just accumulating wealth, advocating for a balanced financial plan that aligns with personal values and long-term goals.00:00 Introduction to Retire Early00:54 The Over-Saver's Dilemma01:33 The Messy Middle Phase03:39 Signs of Over-Optimizing05:50 The Law of Diminishing Returns09:19 A Framework for Balanced Saving11:29 Reallocating with Intention12:31 Conclusion and Next StepsCheck out the Palm Valley Wealth Management WebsitePalmValleywm.comCheck us out on InstagramLinkedIn FacebookListen to the Podcast Here!

In this episode, I'm letting go of the pressure to "start strong" in January — and maybe giving you permission to do the same. If your new year feels less like a clean slate and more like a slow crawl out of holiday chaos, sickness, or just plain exhaustion… you're not alone. This week, I'm sharing why I'm not beginning 2026 with a grand plan, a detailed vision board, or a perfectly mapped-out set of intentions. Instead, I'm choosing the slowness of winter, the simplicity of small tasks, and the honesty of meeting myself exactly where I am. Inside, I talk about: The moment back in 2012 that shifted how I wanted to enter the New Year — and why I stopped forcing a "fresh start." What this past holiday season really looked like (sickness, exhaustion, low capacity) and why big intentions were impossible. Why I'm choosing a slower, simpler beginning to 2026 — and letting clarity and momentum trickle in on their own timeline. Here's to choosing what's real, sustainable, and aligned — not what's expected. And if you want more reflections like this, you can join me over on Substack at THIS SEASON → blairbadenhop.substack.com

You bought the color-coded planner. You reorganized your entire content folder. You told yourself that once things calm down after the holidays, everything will click into place. But here's what nobody wants to admit: most people don't actually want change—they want relief. And we're constantly confusing the two, especially in January. In this episode we dive into:• Why your January goals are likely designed for relief, not actual change• The critical difference between reducing tension and restructuring your reality• How to identify when you're avoiding the one thing that needs your attention most• The questions that expose whether you're truly changing or just getting comfortableWhen Relief Becomes Your Default• Reorganizing your planner instead of making the uncomfortable decision you've been avoiding• Saving endless content and telling yourself you'll implement it later while never actually posting• Waiting to "feel ready" so you don't have to risk doing something imperfectly• Convincing yourself that lowering your standards is just being realistic about your current seasonWhy January's Promise Always Disappoints• The myth that life will slow down once the holidays end and routines reset• That meme about being an adult: saying "hopefully things will calm down after this week" for 372 consecutive Tuesdays• The truth nobody wants to hear: if you're a high-achieving person, the feeling of needing to catch up never goes away• How holiday slowdowns make you comfortable with lower effort, then January's timeline creates instant overwhelmWhat Change Actually Requires• Identifying that "I need to rest" or "I'm not motivated" is often code for unclear priorities and avoided boundaries• Committing to something basic and repeatable instead of the 7,500 recipes you saved with 17-part ingredient lists• Making adjustments as you go rather than pausing and promising you'll restart later• Accepting that clarity comes after commitment, not before it—and 90 days is your minimum timelineThis conversation reminds us that relief pulls you away from the problem while change redesigns the situation to get you where you want to go. Whether you're convincing yourself that now isn't the right time to have that difficult conversation or telling yourself you'll track your food "starting tomorrow" for the fifth time this week, this episode offers the honest framework to stop choosing comfort over actual progress.Looking for more on goal-setting that actually works?

In this conversation, Mark explains that "we often build our lives on things we are certain about that simply are not true." He describes how "we don't actually see the world… we see screens of how we think the world is." He explains that these screens create "a double paradox" shaping what we think is safe, what we think is risky, and how we choose to act. Mark describes the difference between someone who sees a large employer as stability versus an entrepreneur who sees it as danger, saying "which screen is right? Well, it depends on which screen is going to give you more power in life." He talks about choosing the entrepreneurial screen because "I detested the idea of being a piece of a cog in a major machine." He explains how a "victim type screen" once took over his thinking when he was diagnosed with osteonecrosis: "I was catastrophizing… I went into a very negative spiral." He recalls seeing children receiving chemotherapy and realizing "Mark, you are really self-absorbed… You don't get to live a life without pain and challenge." That shift, "Why me?" to "Why not me?", transformed everything for him. Mark also talks about the mindset required to reinvent yourself: "No matter what I succeeded in in the past entitles me to win in the future." He shares that he must "redo it every three years or reimagine it and transform it," because "if I'm not transforming my business, other people are going to be working to transform my business out of it." He discusses fear and avoidance: "You can be afraid of having the conversation… but what you cannot do is ignore it." He explains how ignoring problems is the beginning of decline. Mark then explores how his business model evolved when he realized that people with millions of dollars were still "miserable, always afraid… always complaining" while others with far less were happy. This led him to see that money alone is not the source of well-being. He dismantles the three ideas he was taught early in his career: "stock picking," "market timing," and "track record investing", calling them "completely bankrupt." He explains that "the market is very efficient, very random," and that "stock picking, market timing and track record investing didn't work." Mark describes how identity and mission changed for him over time, how screens shape action, and how transformation requires confronting fear, discarding false certainty, and letting go of entitlement. He closes by saying he hopes never to retire because "stopping is one of the worst things you can do for your future." He explains that purpose, planning, and creating are what allow people to thrive.

How do you take the savings you've built over a lifetime and turn it into reliable income you can count on year after year? That's a question I've been hearing more and more, and it makes sense, without a clear withdrawal strategy, retirees can unintentionally drain their accounts too quickly, trigger unnecessary taxes, or simply feel unsure about whether they're doing things the right way. Making the shift from accumulating money to actually using it can feel uncomfortable, and my goal is to help people approach that transition with clarity and confidence. In this episode, I break the process down into a straightforward framework that organizes your retirement savings into distinct buckets, each with its own purpose and timeline. I also reveal the too common situation where someone has paid far more in taxes than they needed to, all because of the order in which they pulled money from their accounts. With a little structure and thoughtful planning, you can create an income stream that supports your lifestyle, protects your long-term security, and still leaves room to enjoy the retirement you've worked so hard for. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (0:00) Intro. (0:20) Sources of Income in Retirement. (4:22) Costly Withdrawal Mistakes. (10:10) The Spending Mindset Shift. (13:23) The Three-Bucket Method. (28:00) Adjusting Over Time. A Smarter Approach to Using Your Retirement Income Understanding how you'll draw income in retirement is every bit as important as building the savings itself. Social Security, pensions, part‑time earnings, and withdrawals from your investments all contribute to the picture, but the sequence and timing of those withdrawals can dramatically impact your long‑term results. Pulling too much from tax‑deferred accounts early on can trigger avoidable taxes, while leaning too heavily on a single source can limit your options later. I've met plenty of people who ended up paying far more in taxes than they needed to simply because they didn't have a coordinated withdrawal strategy. With a thoughtful plan, retirees can design their income in a way that reduces taxes, stretches their savings, and helps ensure their money lasts as long as they do. Retirement isn't just about accumulating enough, it's about managing it intentionally once you get there. Learning to Use Your Retirement A Shift from Saving to Spending For years, often decades, we're taught to save diligently, invest consistently, and grow our retirement nest egg. But when the moment finally arrives to start using that money, flipping from saver to spender isn't always as simple as it sounds. I've worked with plenty of retirees who hesitate to touch their accounts, even when they're in a strong financial position. Watching balances decline can feel unsettling, even though that's the very purpose of those savings. Some people even take Social Security earlier than ideal just to avoid withdrawing from their investments, a choice that can cost them significantly over time. Recognizing that spending down your savings is a normal, healthy part of retirement can make a world of difference. When people understand this shift, they're better equipped to make confident decisions, and to actually enjoy the retirement they spent a lifetime preparing for. Structure Retirement Withdrawals to create a Predictable Paycheck When it comes to turning savings into reliable income, I've found that simplicity is often the key. The three‑bucket approach helps retirees organize their money into short‑term cash, steady income‑producing investments, and long‑term growth assets. With this structure, you always know which bucket your income is coming from and when you'll need it. A dedicated income bucket makes withdrawals feel more like a predictable paycheck, while the growth bucket keeps your future needs covered. This setup helps prevent selling investments at the wrong time, keeps taxes in check, and gives retirees the confidence that their financial plan can support them for the long haul.

WHAT THE 2026 CONTRIBUTION LIMITS MEAN FOR YOU FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post | CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS, Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Contribution limits for retirement accounts change periodically and can impact how much you are able to save. This episode explains the newly finalized retirement plan contribution limits for 2026 and why understanding these updates can help you make informed decisions about saving, planning, and taking advantage of available opportunities. Full Description Each year, retirement plan contribution limits are reviewed and adjusted, reflecting changes in economic conditions and cost-of-living considerations. These updates can affect how much individuals and families are able to contribute to retirement accounts and influence overall planning strategies. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, the discussion focuses on the retirement plan contribution limits finalized for 2026. Listeners will learn what has changed, which accounts are impacted, and why these updates matter when planning for long-term financial goals. The episode explains how contribution limits apply to common retirement vehicles and how increases may create new opportunities to save more efficiently. Understanding these limits is especially important for those nearing retirement, individuals trying to maximize savings, or anyone adjusting their financial plan for the coming year. The conversation also highlights why contribution limits should be viewed as part of a broader strategy rather than in isolation. Saving more is helpful, but aligning contributions with income, tax considerations, and future goals is equally important. Planning ahead allows individuals to take advantage of changes without disrupting cash flow or other priorities. Listeners will gain perspective on how staying informed about contribution limits supports proactive planning. Rather than reacting at tax time, understanding updates early allows for more intentional decisions throughout the year. At BWFA, we help clients evaluate how annual changes like contribution limits fit into their overall financial plans. This episode provides timely insight for anyone looking to stay informed and make thoughtful choices as they plan for 2026 and beyond.

In this second year-end reflection, I get blunt about a lesson that's taken years to fully grasp — but in 2025, it became undeniable: the white evangelical movement in America is utterly depraved. Not just theologically. Morally. Culturally. Publicly. From Donald Trump's ongoing abuses to the disgraceful “revival” at Charlie Kirk's funeral, 2025 made it crystal clear: this movement is no longer about Christ — it's about power, whiteness, and control. And it's dragging the name of Jesus through the mud.

STORY 2: You can ring in the New Year early with your kids at Stone Mountain Park Stone Mountain Park’s got your New Year’s plans covered—especially if you’ve got kids (or just don’t want to stay up ‘til midnight). On Dec. 31, they’re doing an early countdown at 9 p.m., complete with fireworks and even snow. The fun kicks off at noon with Stone Mountain Christmas attractions, but the real magic happens at 8 p.m. Princess Aurora’s Light Spectacular and the Christmas Drone Show take center stage—this year with fire drones. Yep, drones that shoot fireworks. Think Santa’s sleigh launching sparks. Afterward? Music, dancing, and that 9 p.m. countdown. Who needs midnight anyway? STORY 3: Registration for Georgia Rivers spring events now open Ready to paddle into 2026?

At 54, she’s still chasing the dream most people take for granted—owning a home. “I’ve never bought a house. Never even had a brand-new car,” she says, standing on the back porch of her rented townhome in Lawrenceville. Her kids, grown but not gone, help with rent and groceries. Anayah, her daughter, once thought about moving out—until she saw the prices. “She said, ‘Yeah, I think I’ll stay home a little longer.’” Rent’s nearly doubled in recent years, from $785 to $1,485. Saving? Forget it. “Maybe someday,” Jeannie says. STORY 5: Lanier Islands Resort offers two ways to ring in the New Year Looking for a New Year’s Eve plan that works for everyone? Lanier Islands Resort might just have you covered. Whether you’re chasing a family-friendly evening or a grown-ups-only Havana Nights bash, they’ve got something for both vibes. For the kids (and parents who’ll probably be in bed by 10), there’s a celebration at Game Changer—think arcade games, duckpin bowling, axe throwing, and a sparkling cider toast at 7 p.m. Free to get in, but activities are pay-as-you-go. Meanwhile, the 21+ crowd can party in style with cocktails, a gourmet buffet, live music, and a champagne toast at midnight. Break 3: DTL HOLIDAY INTERVIEW - MARK BERENS - BERENS FROZEN CUSTARD STORY 6: Gwinnett County Public Library earns North American Innovation award for Hooper-Renwick Themed Library The Gwinnett County Public Library just snagged a huge honor—it’s been named a Top Innovator for 2025 by the Urban Libraries Council. Why? Their new Hooper-Renwick Themed Library in Lawrenceville, a space that’s all about equity, inclusion, and honoring history. “This award means the world to us,” said Charles Pace, GCPL’s executive director. “In a time when libraries face so many challenges, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.” The library, built on the site of Gwinnett’s only pre-desegregation Black high school, blends history with modern resources, showcasing memorabilia and stories that deserve the spotlight. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Baggett Elementary is GCPS's lone elementary school offering organized sports At Baggett Elementary, sports aren’t just about the game—they’re about giving kids a place to belong. Even though organized sports don’t officially start in Gwinnett County until middle school, a group of passionate teachers and staff decided to change that. It all started four years ago with basketball. Now? They’ve got T-ball, flag football, soccer, and cheerleading too. “We’ve basically built our own league,” said Jasmin Riley, the school’s PE teacher. The games are in-house—Baggett Blue vs. Baggett Red—but the energy is real. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: GCPS Hiring Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Understanding how these plans work is an important step in building an effective education funding strategy. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Larry and Tyler discuss how Maryland 529 plans function and why they are commonly used for college savings. They explain the basic structure of a 529 plan, including how contributions grow over time and how funds can be used for qualified education expenses. The conversation also highlights the specific benefits available to Maryland residents. State tax deductions, flexibility in contribution amounts, and control over the account all play a role in making Maryland 529 plans appealing for families at different stages of planning. Larry and Tyler also discuss how these plans can be coordinated with other education funding options. Listeners will learn why it is important to align college savings with broader financial goals. Saving for education should not come at the expense of retirement planning or overall financial stability. This episode emphasizes the value of balance and thoughtful prioritization when planning for future expenses. Rather than viewing a 529 plan as a standalone solution, Larry and Tyler encourage families to integrate college savings into a comprehensive financial plan. This approach helps ensure education goals are supported while maintaining long-term flexibility.
