DECLINED
NO MORE!
One of the things that I have
struggled with from time to time throughout the years raising my family has
been the sacrifice of not working outside the home for various reasons, but chiefly
because of home schooling and all that comes with that and of course when they
were babies and very young and the need to be home with them. This struggle often comes at times when money
is tight, the pantry is dry, everything is due or breaking down. Of course there are plenty of times when everything
feels right and is right, bank account is looking straight, and money at the
time is no issue. But… when the paycheck
is spent and there’s still another 2 weeks to go, and even that paycheck is
pretty much spoken for; it can get very “real” around here.
A “real” moment happened today
when I went in the store to get just a few things which totaled $6 and some
change. I got up to the register to pay
for them, swiped my card….DECLINED….swiped it again….DECLINED. I was embarrassed, humiliated, frustrated and
then I became angry! I will be 50 years
old in September and there should be no reason why at this stage in the game
that I should be looking at a -0- balance in my account. No more!
I understood it when my children, my husband and I were young and poor
and everything went to pampers, food, gas, rent and just staying above water.
Today is my beginning on yet another personal
journey, and that is to claim what God said is mine. It’s a
new day and the new day begins with a new attitude! This is the year that I begin my journey
towards wealth. Yes, I said it,
wealth! I have trusted God far too long,
worked for no pay on behalf of someone’s ministry in someone’s church planting
seeds, helping others, giving of myself, my time and resources to not only my
family and friends, but to people God put in my path. I DECLARE AND DECREE that I will be DECLINED
NO MORE! There’s a field waiting to be
harvested and it’s the field that I sowed my life into and I AM EXPECTING A
HARVEST AND THE TIME IS NOW TO REAP!
