I feel like that could describe America...simply put: excess.
An excessive amount of food, space, cars, and churches. Everywhere I look it just feels like excess. There are so many other things I'd like to write...but some things are better left kept unsaid.
Why do we need so much? Or feel like we need so much? Acquiring things is a way of passing time... A hobby, and even a justified excuse for not being more involved in things that actually matter.
I feel like in some ways God has used this trip to show me who He saved me from becoming...
And for that I am grateful...
good for you for recognizing this, erin!
ReplyDeletemy husband and i are in the midst of "digging out" per se and trying to simplify our life. God is good and we are thankful that He has revealed this same thing to us and has given us the desire to be free from the excess.
