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
