When you have an emergency fund a catastrophic situation can suddenly become a manageable inconvenience. If you've been nervous because you don't have a financial cushion, let my story in this episode inspire you to hunker down to build your financial safety net.

And honestly, you don't have to do a complete overhaul to start growing your savings account. One small step (such as depositing $25 a paycheck) can make such a difference.

In this episode of Living Your Abundant Life, I'm sharing a real-life story from the recent tornadoes in our neighborhood—and how having an emergency fund completely changed the experience.

You'll hear what I was thinking while in the basement in standing water and how I prayed when I didn't know what to say to God because I was too nervous to come up with words.

Inside this conversation, you'll hear:

• The impact of having a savings
  
  

• How our savings account allowed us to focus on what truly matters
  
  

• Why allowing God in must be included in your action steps of money management
  
  

• How I prayed when I was too nervous to come up with words

Scripture reference: Matthew 8:26– He replied, 'You of little faith, why are you so afraid?' Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves and it was completely clear.

Takeaway

Starting small is still starting.
One small shift can create peace in moments you never expected.
