You won the lottery $80 million after taxes.
What would you do the first week? The first month? 3 months? 6 months and the first year. Be as specific as you want.

I don't wait a week or even to many days
I find needy people and start giving it away
All my needs are already met ,I never want to forget that
So if I have it ,its to bless others
I only had 9 grand and I helped people a year with it ,no telling what I could do with 80 million ,Many people would be praising God I assure you .
I already know ,money changes me if I indulge myself with it
I would find as many ways as I could to do good with it ,maybe even take the distribution of it out of my hands ,have someone I know I could trust to oversee it
But I would not enable people to count on it ,or crooks to pad their pockets with it ,it would help people become self reliant ,not enable them to look for hand outs ,,
It could go quick paying for life saving procedures for kids ,I would not prolong the suffering of the elderly ,keeping them alive ,but no chance of any quality of life ,,,now if I could give them quality of life thats a different story .
I know of some places right off that could us the help
as to making provisions for myself ,,that would defeat the purpose of living by faith ..
I did that once before ,after having back surgery ,I went back to work
and soon I was bragging on myself for my comeback ,and forgot all the promises I made that I would do if I just survived the surgery .
And soon a little sliver of bone in my shoulder showed me who was boss and it wasn't me ,I know it was a direct result of not following through on my promises
I learned my lesson ,,,I won't forget who blessed me again
no matter how much money it is .
If He let me have that much cash ,I know exactly what He would want me to do with it ..
And it would not include storing up treasures on earth for myself
