so I won't on this post.
What I will talk about is things!!!!!!!!!! They are what you love to love but hate to love at the same time.
Ugh in America we get so caught up with wanting things and "needing" things.
And then when we have to get those things we have to spend more money to take care of those things.
Cars....ugh the largest money pit ever. I hate them.
Computers......same thing.
I seriously wonder if i count up all the things in my apartment that I have but do not really need to survive what that percentage would be. Probably like 95% or something. How in the world does this cycle stop???
I am so guilty of it so much! Even though I have been in other countries and seen people live such different lives. I still live the same way. Part of me still wants that "American Dream" and the other part loathes that dream.
I have no real resolution to this problem. Other than just giving every little thing over to God. I try to do that as much as possible. However, sometimes my grip is just too tight and I can only let go slowly one finger at a time.
He has so many great things for us and most are not tangible. I wish we could physical trade-out our things for his things. It might help me get the picture more.
OK well.... no other thoughts and no conclusion..... just off to loose my grip some more.
ooh and here is a video slightly related http://www.storyofstuff.com/
