It was, but in retrospect I will probably be better off than most or all of my family, financially. I dont require very much and Im a saver. I know how to handle money and Im not greedy. I hope I ca nhelp lots of others.

You are a position for God to use you.

*in a

You have a great attitude

My adobe cost me $1,500. Pd cash and no mortgage/debt nearly eliminates earthly concerns.

1500 total??

Yeah, but it wasnt worth more. Ive done alot to it. The point is, young people have no one to teach them the things that are truly important. Too many artificial pressures in life. With proper upbringing, they never experience that false perspective in life.

Wow. I am amazed. Not many people are in your position.

Most people don't even save at all. We live in such a temporary.. I want it right now society

Eergo, the Father has everything under control. He has a plan and I must learn to place my trust in him. My biggest concern is how best to steward what I am responsible for, a bigger job than I feel up to, but God makes no mistakes, so, I trust him.

You are right. He makes no mistakes.

We are usually the problem, never God.

Ive never been to a High School reunion. I am not at all like I was back then, who is. It would be so weird.

Whatever God has for you.. as long as you are willing..and faithful.. you know you will be up for the job.

Yes.

We see things a certain way, failure, success. God has a totally unknowable purpose in it all.

You love the Lord.. you long to obey Him.. you are willing.. what more can you give.. .He will guide you.

Look at Moses.. lol

He saw the miracles.. and yet he still felt inadequate

We all find reasons.. why we aren't ready.. or God can't use us.. I am the biggest offender. It's hard to feel worthy and trust that He really wants to use us

I would like to think that if we live in an age like that of old testament times, when God did incredible overt acts to ally His People to Him, that I would be only somewhat amazed, but not at all surprised. I think I have that kind of Faith.

I agree.. I would like to think I would as well.

The devil knows our weaknesses..and reminds us daily.

Its a little scary, or maybe seems a little arrogant, I dont know. Maybe unsettled is a good thing?

Unsettled.. can be good I suppose..because maybe we are looking to serve. The bad side of being unsettled.. is discontentment. No matter what God brings.. or opportunities or blessings.. we find fault with.

We are living in a very unusual time when evil doers will do signs and wonders too. Look at the internet, medicine, financia systems, space technology...

sometimes we look for something bigger..and not realizing that God is using us just where we are.

I feel content at all times, in all circumstances. I have self assurance, remembering where it all comes from. Of that I have no doubts. I seek contentment in whatever state I find myself . God has Blessed me.

I am so happy to hear that.. and I can feel. You are unique. Not many have a heart of contentment and service as you do. ❤

Its stewardship. I own nothing because it is all for the Kingdom of Heaven, yet I control all that he places in my care.

You have a great perspective 😃

@the Steward

Yooo hoooo @hellcat I am here too lol

😂

Consider then, why would bad actors publicly harass any of us who only seek to live (Hi @hellcat ) to worship God? It is evil and enmity with God's Spirit within us.

@the Steward I agree. Your testimony.. your words..the way you live your life.. even though it flows through your fingers..to discord.. is so important. I am sure you impact others.. and God has used in that way. You give me things to think about all the time. I appreciate it.

whats up family
