\"\"<\/a>\u201cI don\u2019t know how she does it.<\/em>\u201d Lillianne is not talking about the best-selling book turned movie with Jessica Sarah Parker as a super-working mom. She\u2019s talking about her sister Serena. With a touch of sibling rivalry and a touch of pride, Lillianne says,<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is always so friggen happy\u2014 it\u2019s annoying that\u2019s what it is. She is high-energy, yet not hyper. She has time for everything and everyone. It doesn\u2019t seem there\u2019s a thing in Serena\u2019s life that is lacking<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Except one thing: money. Lillianne knows. She\u2019s her sister\u2019s accountant. While choosing a secure career path for herself, Serena took an uncertain one in the arts. She dabbles in many things creative. She\u2019s a jewelry maker, dancer, and administrative assistant for the local theater. Only one of those is a paying gig. With insider knowledge to her sister\u2019s finances, Lillianne doesn\u2019t know how she does it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.<\/em>\u201d
\n~ Billy Graham<\/p>\n

From early on, Serena took this quote to heart. She has strong faith that God will provide. She does her part by going to work and spending less than she earns. Her faith is a very quiet underpinning to every financial decision she makes on a daily basis. That\u2019s how she lives with less, and no one notices.<\/p>\n

Lillianne doesn\u2019t realize that it\u2019s her sister\u2019s faith-filled attitude that brings abundant happiness. It\u2019s a lesson we all can learn from, the next time we\u2019re tempted to remark, \u201cI don\u2019t know how she does it<\/em>.\u201d Chance are, if you look a little closer you\u2019ll know\u2014 she does it with the help of God and the right attitude.<\/p>\n
