I am in this constant battle. I have tried to articulate it in my thoughts and in writing so many times. I can never capture the essence of the battle raging inside of me.
Knowing that I have so much, too much. Patting myself on the back for all my blessings from the Lord, resting in the security of a savings account. Wanting a bigger house but desperately wanting to be content with less. Wanting to give it all in one moment, feeling appalled that I eat steak while my "neighbor" doesn't eat. But in the next moment, wanting more, bigger, better, newer, more fashionable...
I am doing it again. Trying to describe what I feel and miserably failing. What I do know is that it is an internal war. Flesh against the Spirit.
Do you ever find yourself here?
This website is awesome and would also be a great educational tools to use with kids. http://www.whoarethejoneses.org/

Amy, I'm amazed at how many people are asking these questions today. I see God moving among this generation of believers. I'm excited. I hope that everyone of us asks, What now Lord? What does it look like for me to forsake all for you? Show me. I want YOU! It's exciting and yes, scary.
Yes, right there with ya!
