I Want To:

I need a change...its in the air.

Stifled by 'the man'...we can hardly make rent at our tiny abode and 'the man' shows up with new cars, houses, golden retrievers and white picket fences.

I want to puke...it hardly seems fair.

It's not that I want all the fancy and expensive things, I just have a hard time with living paycheck to paycheck while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

"The love of money is the root of all evil." 1 Timothy 6:10

It's not the money I want so badly, its the freedom, the ability to bless, the means to start a ministry, and the college fund for my children.

Why is it that I really want this job, though? I'm tired of not using my God-given abilities. I feel like they're being wasted by sitting on my rear-end waiting for the phone to ring and the mail lady to drive by...each task finished within just a few moments. Maybe this is my chance to reflect on what it is exactly that I want in life.

I want to be challenged.
I want to be appreciated.
I want to work hard.
I want to provide.
I want to bless.
I want so much more.
I want to be rewarded and to reward others.
I want to utilize my gifts and talents.
I want to start a family.
I want to own a ranch for my children to grow up & learn.
I want to be there for my kids, not working my fingers to the grind just to pay for diapers.
I want to celebrate my marriage with a real wedding and finally go on our honeymoon.
I want to be debt free.
I want to pay my bills as they come in...not wait for the money to eventually come.
I want to sleep peacefully without thinking about how many nights we have left in our home.
I want to garden.
I want to be healthy.
I want to help others achieve their goals & dreams.
