Money.. What's that?!

So last night during life group we talked about money and how people idol it.  This week has been comical to me, because of the exercises he wants us to do.  Like for instance one day he said carry around a wad of money and touch it all day.  Well needless to say since I had no money until today (payday) I wrote in my journal:  "Hahaha I'll carry around a bag of change"!  I am truly blessed with all that I have in my life and I wouldn't trade it in.  We are fed and we are clothed.  Do I wish we had more money so that I wouldn't stress about which bill is being paid this week?  Absolutely I would.  I would love to get up and just do what I want to do on a whim.  Do more things with my friends.  I feel like a poor little girl when it comes to listening to things my friends do week after week, this is why I am being to dislike social media more and more by the day.  Then there are the times that I feel my friends don't invite me because they don't want me to feel bad that I can't go or if I go I sit there watching them eat and stuff because they can get it and me being there is all I got.  I get it that people can do with what they please with the money they earn but sometimes people don't realize how they truly make others feel.  It is not like I go out every time I get paid and splurge.  Lately all I do is pay bill's, fill up the cars with gas and get groceries.  I am not writing this to make people feel bad for me or pitty me.  I am writing this as a statement that I may not have all the money to be able to get everything I wish I could have but in the end that is all materialistic things.  I AM EXTREMELY RICH WITH LOVE.  To me LOVE is the best gift that GOD could have given to us.  All I want is to get myself on a budget so bill's can be paid with ease and if we have extra cash so be it.  I was asked to post a picture of my love letter to money I shared with my group last night.  I couldn't come up with a clever poem like some of the others did but I tried and find the comedy in the lack of money.

Have a blessed day
