So recently Ive been struggling with this wanting thing. I want so many things: new skirts, new shoes, new coats, a better body, shinier hair, more stuff for our apartment, the perfect job, to be able to travel more. I spend all my time on Pinterest and Facebook, looking at magazines, and filling up my wish list. Well, Andrew and I just got married, and we dont really have money to spare haha, so I have become frustrated with the fact that I cant do or get any of these things. But I have begun to realize that this never ending wanting is degrading my heart, always leaving me dissatisfied with what I have: a wonderful and loving husband, an awesome family, a warm apartment full of new wedding gifts, a paying internship at the most popular museum in the world, a closet full of more clothes than I wear, and a healthy body that does what its suppose to. I know this is a super long Facebook post, but I also know I am not the only one out there who cant stop looking at this world and wanting more. Who is tired of saying no and hearing no. I found a really great devotional about wanting that is worth reading. Its helping me to re-direct my thoughts and priorities, so maybe itll be helpful to another person out there who wants things they cant have. “When we focus on material things, our having will never catch up with our wanting. It is one of God’s unbreakable laws.” cbn/spirituallife/devotions/adams_iwant.aspx
