How much do I hate money? Well, that is a question of un-ending response!!

In this lovely world we are controlled by a thing we know and the cha-ching$?? But, what is up with it.

K, so my parents are incredible people who have been faithful to God and His calls for them as long as I've been alive!! And yet they find themselves in thousands...I'm talking like over 30,000 $Dollars$ in debt. And that is only our bills and taxes!! What is up with that? And this woman that I have known most of my life, who uses her money for things like excessive shopping, and things like lottery tickets and whatever!! And she is continually getting promotions and bonuses and all sorts of financial blessings!! And then there are the people who are missionaries, and they actually do get the money that they need from God.

So my parents became missionaries in 1998, and we came here to Toronto to work at the Scott Mission downtown, and we did. Much has happened since then and they have been so faithful...I've seen it, and yet we can't afford our house, car, gas, electricity, phone, heat, or food. I felt God telling me to start tithing to my parents last month because of how much they have poured into me, and I knew he wanted me to give it to them in Gift cards for the Superstore around the corner from our house. This week I found out that they have so little money that they couldn't afford to buy food, I then realized why God had been directing me in that direction!

This isn't for people to feel sorry for me, or for them to think we are in the poor category...we aren't! We have a beautiful house in a nice neighbourhood, and a good car...etc...etc. This is just to comment on the fact that I would think that I do not deserve the good prosperity that I have as much as they do, and yet I am the one who has it!!

So what is up with money? Why do some get it and others not? Why is it so stressful when you are running out? How are we supposed to account for the old retired people who are on fixed pensions when the cost of living goes up every year? It's not like their costs go down, it's the opposite!! With all the medical and house care they need their costs go up and so does the cost of those costs, and yet the check that comes in the mail for them is fixed and never changes!! Aren't we supposed to care for our elders?

I seriously just want to comment that I hate money, and that we can never escape the needing of it!! We will always need it, and will always be bound by that need in order to survive, but that is what sucks the most! That even though we kno it is ruling over us, we cannot leave it in the dust...unless we are simply walking in the wilderness and fending for ourselves on an Island or something...but even then, I'm not sure there would be enough dust...unless there is a chunk of desert there and you have money on one side and then you begin to run really really fast...then it might work!!

Anyways...this is just a ...rambling... of all that's in my head...MASTER MIND!!
