Love and Gucci Handbags...


This economic recession is getting the best of most Americans. It is hard to really grasp the troubles of others as I sit in the comfort of my parent's home writing a blog, but at the same time I haven't been reckless with my the earnings I have received.

It grieves my heart...I read a story of two parents committing suicide and killing their two children a few days after they lost their jobs. The parents decided they had no other choice and didn't want to leave their children in other hands so selfishly took them with them...

Meanwhile, West Los Angeles consist of shoppers buying expensive luxeries but hiding them in 'no-brand' bags to lower being noticed. Stealth wealth and shame shoppers...it sickens me. A lady pretended to have bought a gift only to have that $1200 Gucci hangbag she bought given to herself...

What is wrong with this picture...what is wrong with both of these pictures...America has become so reckless and so easily driven to become dependent on money...to idolize it.

I want to change this.
God has given me a heart to change this lifestyle.
He's given this blessing to go to college on the debt of my parents.
He has given me a life-style I couldn't be more thankful for.

I want to take his blessings and bless others with it.
I want to support the team going to stop human trafficking.
I want to live an example out among others.
I want to give to the starving children of Africa.
I want to love my neighbor and not expect anything in return.

I want to love others because of God's love for us.

God show me the best way to love others in their individual needs.
