STOP THE PRESS!!!! WHY DO I WANT FINANCIAL FREEDOM????? I know some of you that are reading this is saying : What kind of question is that? DUH !!! Why not be financially free? Who likes debt??. That not where I'm coming from. Whenever some one sets on a path of purpose its usually much bigger than what the initial reason may have been. What do I mean by that statement? OK, let me explain. Lets say someone wants to lose weight, the first thought is usually not always but mostly to look extra hot and physically attractive, right???? but when they proceed further through the weight loss journey their health improves, their self confidence sometimes increase, they are able to love themselves which in turn allows them to open their hearts and love on others etc.... I'm speaking about healthy weight loss not dieting. (Diets don't work, its a life style change that does!)
Well I went to church today and the sermon spoke to being AWAKE in the body of Christ. Then it dawned on me to answer the question, Why do I want financial freedom? To be able to buy the latest designer bag or red bottom stiletto shoes? Is it to just say I don't have any debt? NO!!!! I have always had a desire to help people, and before I began to attend my present church I couldn't see beyond the borders of which ever little community church I was in attendance with membership. So I couldn't see beyond the neighborhood I was worshipping in. Now I know, I want to achieve financial freedom so that I may be able to contribute to being a blessing to many near and far. Possibly attending a mission, or donating to different ministries , not just looking for a tax write off!!!
The initial event that began this journey was small but, has extended to so much more!! the event that triggered this journey started with me checking my bank account online on a non pay week . Not to my surprise at all, but it sure made me laugh instead of cry I saw one account total .41 cent and the other .23 cent. I just burst out laughing , then I got anxiety and then angry and said LORD SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!. I took a big sigh and just listened to see if GOD would give some extraordinary answer. (FYI, God will speak to you, the thing is you may not always like what he is saying.) Well he did show me somethings and I will tell you what it is. Lets keep walking.....
