I Am A Christian But Im Not Perfect

I have been struggling with my place in Christ for the last couple of years...Truth is that I want to live a godly life but I haven't got a clue as to what that looks like yet. I believe that I have a form of godliness but I am still struggling with love for material possessions, and the love of money as that is all that I dream about, and for the most part it's getting boreing, I'm the type who wouldn't be satisfied with winning the lottery, no my greed wants me to win it 10 times, and having everything is never enough when I do have money I spend it all on having more clothes, I am never satisfied I gotta have it all.And where does this fall into place of being a Christian? It doesn't for I am out of God's will seeking pleasures rather than doing something good with my money.

SaintSong both in Jewish spiritual tradition and in the nondenominational approach called NonViolent Communication (NVC), there is this idea that all of our desires are rooted in something good. They just get distorted, but with God's help we can sometimes untwist them back to their source. So like the fantasies and the overspending might have to do with wanting connection with others, or pleasure in life, or a feeling of energy and aliveness... just for example... all good God-given impulses and needs that you could find more positive ways to express.
