my new number one goal in life:

to die poor.

everything i own, everything i have,
it’s all just one big pile of materialism.
just a pile of stuff left behind after i die.

so, if i can help it,
i’m going to rid myself of everything.

not now, of course.
but, if i think about it, i can live off so little…

after all, doesn’t the bible say that the Lord will provide for us?

after college,
after i know all the things i need to live a full life,
after all the things God has given me the opportunities to fulfill,
i’m going to the peace corps with nothing but bible in one hand, and the other outstretched for anyone who may need to grasp it.

because i’m not going to be a slave to this world anymore.

i refuse.

i’ll keep my myspace for now,
but i’ll probably end up deleting it.

and, right now,
i’m going to fulfill my parents’ wishes for me:
to be educated.
so i’m going to graduate high school.
college too.

but i’m going to live with only the riches of the Lord behind me.
because the greatest treasure is in heaven.
