Happy New Year! I spent the evening at PW's as usual, we enjoyed some games & food and the company of friends. A sweet touch - after counting down to midnight & letting off party poppers, shouting Happy New Year etc, we broke into Happy Birthday To You, as PW's youngest turned 1 year old after midnight.
I don't have a resolution to make, but I have two hopes: One is a bit vague: in 2013 I hope to glorify God a lot more! I'm not sure how really! And also I hope to Not Go Overdrawn, or at least, Not Always!
I have an awful relationship with money, as you know (if you know me!). It just disappears!
I am quite generous & hopefully not materialistic. But recently I realised I do put my hope in financial security: you know those days when there is no ££ in the bank, I do feel opressed/depressed. (Although I actually do enjoy eking food out for a few days as i know it is temporary,) and then on payday I wake up feeling light-hearted, even though I'm not gonna go out shopping for anything more than groceries. There is just that background of relief.
the opression and the light-heartedness show me that I put my trust/gain happiness/satisfaction from posessing money. Having it at my disposal.
I don't want to do that anymore. I want to put ALL my trust in HIM, the faithful, powerful ONE who doesn't disappear a few days before pay day!
He is so faithful and I am so unfaithful!
He is amazing!
