Boy I want a lot of things. Do you ever feel so totally greedy and then really unworthy of it all ?So I made this little mosaic picture frame of things I am envisioning for my life at this time,stuff I want,need,or hope for. I also have some little pictures on my desk at work of things that I really want, that I am trying to apply "The Secret" to in vision board style if you will, and you know what? Some of it has actually happened! But is it only mere coincidence?
Do I have any right ?
I read a book after hearing so much about "The Secret" called "More to the Secret" it asks if it is possible to believe in both God and The Secret, pretty interesting stuff. The Bible does say "ask and you shall receive", but it also asks you to do so with prayer and supplication. Should I really do this for some perfume or a video console? I have no right ,right? Granted,one of the things I want to do is read my Bible faithfully and get back in sync with God.Is it only okay to be believing for those types of things? Another thing is a tattoo I want ,and then the the words "shame on you Colleen Ann!" come piercing thru my head in my mothers voice,"You have no right to ask for such things." But I do want them.
Im certainly not praying for a tattoo, but I still want one and I dont think Im an evil little sinner if I get one,but some people do. Some would say you cant do both, believe in God AND take part in Worldly activities. But I do. I both Love God and believe Jesus to be my personal Saviour as well as listen to Rock and Roll,drink alcohol from time to time, say the "F" word more than a lady should,etc.
Truthfully I know if it is His will, I shall receive the desires of my heart. But do I have any right to desire things not pleasing in his sight?

HI ME, ITS ME. LOL UPDATE:
Since I wrote this I have had an epiphany,maybe I have heard from God on where I need to start honoring him (I like to think so),maybe its just smarts,who knows.But I do have an overwhelming feeling to tithe 10% on my next check, and the one after that and so forth even though I dont know how it will work,but I know enough to trust and be faithful He will provide. I am even thinking it would be fun to just send the tithes to different churches around AZ each check since I do not have a "home" church as of yet.I feel a strong sense to listen to to Malachi 3:10-(look it up-Awesome verse)I will post happenings after 2 months of tithes and hopefully be able to begin tithing over my 10% !!! Good luck to me and Thank you to JC !
There is a link to the Marilyn/Jackie quiz in the text of my post - in the third sentence, click where it says THIS ONE.
