I amuse myself! I find it kinda annoying in a way that my mum wants to renovate the whole kitchen cos it's just too hard to work in and it's not nice enough. All that really needs to happen is to get a new oven cos ours is always breaking! But mum doesn't want to get a new oven until she can get the whole kitchen redone - with a wall oven so it's easier to access!!
I'm sure most people in NZ (excluding rich ppl who've designed and built their own homes) would be glad to have our kitchen - it's not huge but it's big enough to do what you need to do in a kitchen!! How many thousands is it going to cost?? Of course it's in the long-term-ish plan to save up for it, but wouldn't it be better to just replace th oven and spend the money elsewhere? - like on people that need it?
I've also noticed that people are willing to work hard and save for ages to get that kitchen or house or other possession they've dreamed of - but how hard are they willing to work for God?? God could use th money so much better than we could!
I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular.
Of course I am much included in this - I'm sure I'd probably work quite hard if I was going to gain something from it, and admittedly not so hard if I wasn't. I know I need to change that.
Maybe I just don't have the whole dream thing to be surrounded by nice things when I'm older- I don't think I want a flash house with all the latest things to have in it. Maybe because of this I then can't understand why ppl spend so much time doing renovations that sometimes seem pointless to me, and end up spending thousands of dollars which could be used so well by God.
I don't know!
I guess that's what God's been challenging me about lately and I needed somewhere to write that down - and this blog was there, so yeah!

Yeah, I kinda agree, but there's a couple of points I'd like to raise, related to:
"[money] could be used so well by God"
*God is kinda omnipotent. I don't think he really needs money to do his stuff. I suspect it's not so much about helping God out, but being obedient.
*How do you propose we give to God? The thing is, we can only really give to other people, or organizations run by people. How do we make sure those people do what God want? I don't know...
I guess I mean giving money away rather than spending it all on oneself.
I'm sure that if we give money to organisations that we think God would want us to, then we trust that he will use the money in a good way, even if the organisation pockets half of it, goodness always comes out of everything!!
