money... i laugh at you!!! hahahaha!

So for the last few weeks, i've had so much going on i've had to request off tons of shifts... which leaves me with zero dollars. i worked last night and made $50, 20 of which went straight into my tank. Checked my bank account, and I owe them about $47 in overcharges. sucky. OH! and I owe my dad $200 by Sunday. AND.. my friends I'm getting a house with are wondering if I'll have enough to put a down payment on the house we want to rent for next year. Hm... so that puts about.... $0 to my name, not including the $5200 I'm in debt for student loans... lol
In all honesty, I couldn't care less.
Again, going back to my dad's perspective. It's not what you do or how much money you make, it's how you treat the people around you. It's about living for the God who created you for a purpose. As of now, God doesn't want me to have money. That's apparent. But the car I'm driving runs (i would say my car runs but it doesn't... lol), I've got food in my stomach, I've got a full tank of gas, I still have a job, a family and girlfriend who love me, and if I die I'm going to heaven and i lose all my debt anyway! ;D
This world puts such an emphasis on money. Family's tear themselves apart over it. The entire country is freaking out becasue we're slipping into a "recession" that they themselves (civilians) caused, ... it's nuts.
my girlfriend the other day wasn't sure that she wanted to go to a photography seminar because it would cost her about 20% of the paycheck she just got. She LOVES photography and she is AMAZING with a camera. She is never unhappy with a camera in her hands. I wanted to shake her so hard her eyes would pop out. I told her she should go and I'll pay the fee if she wouldn't. Money is ridiculous. I ended up picking a college because it was the cheapest of my options. Looking back, that was a stupid way to go about it. It turned out well, but still a horrible factor to base my decision on.
It's not about money. God provides the money you'll need to fulfill the plan He has for you. If the money doesn't show up, He doesn't want you doing whatever it was at the time. He makes it pretty black and white. I'm at the University of Washington right now because God has provided me with the resources to do so.
This is the part I love. -- everyone clutches to money SO tightly, and every minute they do, that money is worth less and less and less.... a cup of joe costs $5. come on.
Anyways, no moral to the story. Money's stupid and those who chase it are fools. You're like a dog chasing cars. Even if you do make as much as you want, you still won't be happy. "A man's wealth may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat." - somewhere in Proverbs 13. :P
screw money.
