I finished my school work early today
Still fighting the feeling of depression
Refusing to give in to any doubt
Refusing to surrender to negativity
I march on
Cautiously
Picking my head up to face tomorrow
I've volunteered to teach art at Westridge Church
For their 2010 vacation bible school
I looked at my credit report today
My score considerably low
As I have not used a credit card in almost 10 years
Crazy how you have to borrow money
To increase your credit
Crazy how you can be denied jobs because of this
So we can not get good jobs to help pay off debt
Based on our bad debt
Its like modern day slavery
But it applies to all races
I watch as banks and lending companies feed off the poor
Their high interest rates keeps us in bondage
All the while we taunting us with threats of low credit scores.
sadness...
I've been living by my own creed for the past few years
If I can't pay for it, then I do not need it
If I can't afford it, then I have to suppress my wants
I save my money
I spend only what is necessary
I refuse to be owned by a system that I have so little control over
that is my vent for today
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
