The More I Get, The More I Want

I found this amazing prayer in Deborah Smith Pegues book Emergency Prays. This prayer is perfect for me and I will be saying and living it in 2012.
Lord, you have been a faithful father and have provided for all my needs. The problem is my eyes are never satisfied. I find the thrill of a new purchase very fleeting; contentment eludes me. Our word warns that whoever loves money never satisfied with his income. Lord i do not want to live my life in such a meaningless way. I want to beware of and resist greed for my life does not consist in the abundance of the things i posses.I long to be model of godliness with contentment this is a winning combination. Help me be content in whatever circumstances i find myself and joyful whether i have little or much.I realize that it is not our will for me be a reservoir of Your abundance, but channel through which you can bless others. Help me understand that wealth without a purpose is just plain old materialism. Remind me often that u give me much so i can give away much. By your grace i will focus on enriching others rather than wanting more, more, more. In the name of Jesus, i pray. Amen

Happy Holidays

OMG It's been forever since i did a post. I feel soooo bad. We are one day away from 2012 and I had to come on my blog to say Happy Holidays. I have no regrets from 2011, it was a very good year for me. I completed my MSW program, started a full time job, became closer with my family and friends, save money, and put myself first. I am looking forward to 2012 to continue with the BLESSINGS start going to church every sunday, reading the Bible and understanding the word, start a new job that I love, start a loving meaningful relationship, go out more, go to the gym, purchase a new car..etc

The Bible Tag..

The Bible...
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For manymonths he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom,and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was allhe wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that hisfather had purchased the car. Finally,on the morning of hisgraduation, his father called him into his private study. His fathertold him how proud he was to have such a fine son,and told him howmuch he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box..Curious, but somewhat disappointed,the young man opened the box andfound a lovely,leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossedin gold.Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said,"With all yourmoney you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his fatherwas very old and thought perhaps he should go to him.He had not seen Him since that graduation day.But before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram tellinghim his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions tohis son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father's house,sudden sadness and regret filledhis heart. He began to search through his father's important papersand saw the still new Bible,just as he had left it years ago. Withtears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.His father hadcarefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11 , "And if ye, being evil, knowhow to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall yourHeavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sportscar he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and thewords...

These Leopard Wedge are sooo comfortable.

I remember searching extra hard to find these Fab Bootie. First saw them on parismostwanted. I luv everything about them #winning
