30 million dollars

I woke up today and realized something wonderful.  I remembered in highschool in the "career counseling" seminar, they advised to remember this exercise in adulthood when we find ourselves in the "real world":

 pretend that you won 30 million dollars.  Now, with that mindset, what would you do?  The same thing you are doing now? What would you do different?  

I thought of that and was pleasantly surprised.  I would be doing the same thing I am doing now; being married to my best friend and raising our precious baby boy and traveling/doing life with my best friends playing music that points us to the Lord .  I truly love my life and am so thankful to the Lord for His blessings.  What would I do if I won money of that measure?  This is what I hope:

I would pray immediately for God to guide my steps (Prov 16:9) and to take it away immediately if it would hinder His will in my life.  (That really feels crappy to my flesh to say that but I mean it).  I would of course talk to Amanda and tell her I won the money (haha)...

I would give a lot of it away.  I would pay off all debts.  I would save for Eli's college.  I would pay off my sisters, brother-in-law's, sister-in-laws college loans (because it really is hard to function with those lingering over your head!).  I would pay off my families debt.  I would give. I would spend it on Amanda!  I would buy some cool stuff too:)   At least that is what I hope I would do! 

All the money in the world couldn't buy what I already have and hold so dear:  my wife, my son, my family: "that's the stuff dreams are made of...".

I love you Amanda.
