Stuck in traffic - That sucks, DC is pretty bad - Welp never gonna live there - Yea can't really see you moving away from home - Well unfortunately I think I may have to - Oh? - Yea no jobs in my area - But you have connections in the area - True but I need money....
Alright if you know me I tend to respond in a decently quick fashion for text messages. And so to answer my friend's message on how that they needed money, I fired back "True but money isn't everything...."
Ok insert question mark here. Here I am a college kid, who hasn't had a job for the past two summers due to taking a break after freshman year, and banking on an internship after sophomore year. And as for this summer back to coaching (which I love) after being denied by thirteen engineering internship positions. Therefore I'm making much much less than anticipated this summer and I have the quick response of how money isn't everything? Just a tad bit odd, especially after how thats one of the things I was looking forward to this summer was having some money to spend on things that I'd like and/or something for my parents.
This made me think for a bit on how the Lord has continually been working on me even though at the moment I've been in a state of neglect towards Him. Worried about what I'm doing constantly I forget the most important aspect of life. But for me to realize and then fully express my thoughts on something as money that can be a large chunk of a person's life.
Speaking of large chunk of life. Back to the flow of conversation.
Money isn't everything - But it's a large chunk - Only as large as you need it to be - Maybe, but I like money hence I work all the time.
There you have it folks. Working all the time to have money. But doesn't working all the time have its tolls on a person? If you thought no, well then you must be superhuman. Because for everyone else out there in the world working all the time taxes one's body, mind, and spirit. Bruised and battered what fun is there in life if you're so worn down. All the money in the world cannot bring a person happiness. Hm that sounds familiar huh? Oh yea a great man, no excuse me, the Son of God approximately two thousand years ago said something on those very lines. Now I may not have the same credentials as Jesus Christ nor will I ever, but I feel as though something that the Lord says is pretty darn important.
Seems this is all going back to the revelation I had this past school year. Looks like I'm being roped back into what I started. Needless to say I've been too sure in myself and neglecting the Lord is never a good thing.
Funny how one texting conversation brought this all up. Oh how our God works :-)
