I cringe when I think about all the times in my life when I thought I didn't have enough.
I hate it when Satan distracts me from growing closer to God by allowing me to be consumed with my own life. Truth is, when I take the time to think about it, and when I'm walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, I can see clearly that I am so unbelievably well taken care of... and ugh.... so embarrassed for ever thinking otherwise!
I have a loving husband, a beautiful baby girl, and a (very) comfortable place to make myself at home. We have the privilege of living in Wisconsin, surrounded by a large circle of family, friends, and Green Bay Packers. We have a big, welcoming church family where we can openly study the Bible. We each have jobs and regular income and can pay our bills every month + a little extra money for scrapbook paper, colored pants, and that terrible weakness I have for anything edible made with pumpkin and chocolate chips.
But most importantly, I know I will be in Heaven one day because I've decided to give my life over to the God of the universe who gave me life in the first place.
It doesn't get any richer than that.
so true indeed!
