Money Weirdness

Hey guys, how was your weekend? I hope you were all able to rest well. Let's start the week with a little money talk, shall we? First, let's go back to those good old days when you had no care in the world, or at least, no serious care. Do you remember? Do you remember when you thought 5 bucks could buy everything you wanted in the world? My youngest nephew was recently given a cash gift for coming out top of his class. First, he was a little confused, given that he was expecting a toy or even candy and then it seemed like realization dawned on him that he finally had money (he's 4); something he was told too often wasn't available when he made silly requests. His dad came in a few minutes later and he ran to him showing him his cash gift "daddy daddy uncle gave me money, now I can buy anything I want". Awwh, how naive right? Sometimes, that's just bliss. The innocence of a child is adorably pure and peaceful. 

What's Your Status?

Hi everyone! 

Remember how you started the year? You should jo, it's not so far away, though if you don't remember, don't fret it, I can relate. However, let's try and remember sha. I don't do the whole new year resolution thing simply because I don't trust me enough, but I usually do enter each year(this I noticed very recently~say three years now) with a highly positive spirit. I enter feeling like the world is my oyster, you know, and somehow life just has to be better than the previous year. Usually I pray for different areas of my life and just ask God to take control. Truth is, most times I forget all I've even asked for. Are they not important? Of course they are, I think it is my fear of not receiving these things or my fear of not doing my part in working towards getting my request that makes my brain lazily shut down those memories. I know if I really sit to think, I'll know all I asked and wished the year would be. This year, however, was different.
