About Keeping the Kingdom First

Welcome to Keeping the Kingdom First!

My name is Alyssa. This verse inspired my blog:

"...your Heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." Matthew 6:32-33

My Mission:

Honor God with my finances.
Encourage and equip others to do the same.
Discover new and creative ways to reduce spending in order to increase giving.
Balance this journey with marriage and motherhood.

Who Am I?

Oldest sister of 4 girls raised by a single mom. California native. Grew up in Hawaii. Somehow ended up in North Texas.
