...and the courage...

A couple days ago, Josh and I ventured to Bed Bath and Beyond to acquire a few supplies to purdy up our bathroom. We put a full-lenth mirror on the wall so that I can see what I'm doing when getting ready for work in the wee hours of the morning, a basket to put on the back of the toilet to hold my hair straighteners, curling irons, etc, and finally - the man's touch, a basket for "reading materials" that goes on the floor. Overall, it looks so nice! (Only, it needs to be cleaned now. haha). But what got me thinking is how buying one thing often leads to buying another, and it's very easy for me to get selfish and absorbed in making my house, well.. apartment... look picture perfect. I find that in most things, I'm enamored with the end result, instead of contently enjoying the journey. This is something I'd like to work on. Same goes with nursing attire and regular every-day attire. If I want something new to wear, all of a sudden I want a whole new wardrobe. I'm thankful that this has come to my attention and I've noticed this weakness about myself. I'm thankful that I can pray to a God who not only hears, but listens and who will help me grow in this way and many others. I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, who works so hard at school so that some day we can support our children. I'm so very, very blessed. Amen. Love, Sara
