Put It On God's Plate

It's finally Friday! I couldn't be happier.

Over the last couple of months, I have been struggling with the financial burden of a car that was in desperate of major brake work. Problem: It's expensive. Seriously y'all. I tried over and over to figure in the cost of doing my brakes one at a time mind you, into my budget. Problem: nobody does one brake at a time. You have to do two at a time. Selling my car wasn't an easy decision. I didn't just wake up one day and say "she's gotta go". No, it wasn't like that at all.

History of the car. In 2011 the old car I had fallen apart. It was time for a newer car without a great credit rating. My late mom tasked her brother who has since passed, with finding me a reliable car. Yeah! My relationship with my late mother was complicated and this isn't the time to get into it. Three days later he had a car lined up with someone he knew. I liked the car. One problem, I had gone through bankruptcy and a repossession of a Dodge Durango. As you can see I didn't have great credit. To purchase the car required 3k down. My mom had to pull every resource possible. Her brother loaned us 2k against the ex's tax return.

Now that you know the history of my purchasing the car and why it wasn't an easy decision to sell her. I tried to sell her on my own and that plan failed. When I put the task on God's Plate, the deal went through and worked out perfect. The couple who bought the car for their son bought my late uncle's last car. The lady was a close friend of my cousin's daughter. I prayed Monday before they arrived that this would be a blessing to both them and myself.

So when you have a task, let God lead you. Trust his plan will work.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
