That's a Wrap!

Two car loans, mortgage, loan on furniture; and Uh Oh, the washer just broke down, "Man", there is no money. Put it on the charge card and pay it later! Well, well well, robbing Peter to pay Paul! Most people would say, I'm going to be in debt anyway, it's a way of life! It's not a way life is, it's the way you choose to live your life or in other words ~ the American Dream~ spend spend spend and borrow borrow borrow - - - -WHOA HORSEY! 


You are working to pay bills, not working to live! In (Proverbs 22:7 AMP); The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Put in another way, the song the seven dwarfs sing goes, Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho it's off to work I go ~ we are going to change that to, I Owe, I Owe, It's off to work I go! 

Does it really sound like you are living the American dream? Not at all! It sounds like you are working MORE than you are enjoying life -- and getting nowhere! There are bills we are going to have that are standard if you own a home, which is insurance, lights, water and heat. However, those are bills you do not borrow money to obtain. Being debt free gives you a sense of freedom and a balance of working, recreation, saving, spending, and giving! 

 Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. I Peter 5:7 AMP



We want everything right now and waiting is just not an option~ well being sick, in debt, and stressed out far out weighs waiting - Don't you think? Now what can you shed to ease the weight you have been carrying far too long? 

Strive to be debt free ~Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements]. Romans 13:8 AMP

Appetizer # 7

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...
Appetizer # 2 -Mental Attitude ~ a state of feeling or mind about a person or situation WOW! I know that I have had some bad attitudes in situations that were not necessary to even entertain. I can recall one of my many times I developed an attitude before I allowed myself a good attitude about going to a community dance in my hometown. I just knew it was going to be boring and the people that were going to be there, I had nothing in common with (or I thought),  many of them there were not my age; and I did not have anything nice to wear, I needed to make sure my children were sleep first, and on and on and on - -  "Geez" I kept coming up with excuse, after excuse, after excuse!! My negative attitude about going to this dance could have kept me - - -- well, what many of us pass up - - - it's called "living"; IF, I would not have regrouped and decided to go anyway.  I found a babysitter, obviously found something to wear with a pair of my many fabulous sho...

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...
