Money money money

YAYY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

So since exams are over my next goal is to earn some holiday money!

I've a knack with money I think. Somehow I like to think about it, keep it find ways to make it. My dad before me is an entrepreneur and I like to make something out of nothing.
It's not that I want to buy fancy cars or perfumes or thousand dollar shoes, not my interest. Sure I like clothes tho heehee. But, I just like doing business.

Sometimes my mind can't stop thinking and it spins crazily

And so I sat down and thought, calculated how I could utilize the rest of my holiday. How much money I would earn etc

And then I remembered the parable of the rich man in Luke 12!

Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. (Luke 12:13-21, 31 NKJV)

Covetousness! What a quiet and sneaky disease. Rich in things poor in soul.
There is nothing wrong with being an entrepreneur or thinking of ways of making money, but I must watch the deceptiveness of the heart and to ALWAYS check who I am serving. God or mamon?

My heart is filled with thankfulness for the truth in God's word to guide me and to help me have a better perspective of LIFE

I conclude with this while counting my money:
1. if I died sometime during the week the cash I think I'll have won't matter!
2. Seek FIRST His beautiful and eternal Kingdom
