Need vs. Want, Need vs. Want, Need vs. Want

It's been a really long time since I've blogged. I got inspired to journal one day long ago and started this. And alas, I haven't really posted much since then.

I am in total turmoil over this "need vs. want" with God. I so desperately long for a more spacious house. But, if it hasn't been given to me yet, does that mean it's a want or a need? God will provide all my needs, I know this. I also know that our needs are fulfilled on His timing, not ours. I feel like my three year old. I just want to whine, "But I want it!" And p.s., I want it now. Ah. When I feel myself getting anxious, I just pray it out and BEG God for peace. Most of all, I pray that my wants/needs for me will match His. I really just want what's best for our family, not just a bigger house. I guess I get fearful that a bigger house is not what our family needs. But, it is! It is! See, here goes the battle! 

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 

WHERE IS MY PHONE?!?!?

On Monday, I could not find my phone. Of which, sadly to say, is actually apart of my being. It's my connection to the outside world. So, needless to say, when it's missing, a crisis is definitely taking place. 

To find phone, I immediately email my husband, sister & mom to ask them to call me. I could hear 1 1/2 vibrates on the phone, but no ring. It just wasn't long enough for me to locate where the vibrate was coming from. Sister to the rescue! My sister came over and called me till we found it. I stood in the doorway between my kitchen and living room saying, "I hear it right here, but I can't see it." After one last ditch effort to call the phone, my sister leans toward the trash can and said, "is that...?" Oh yeah. Phone was in the TRASH! 

P.S. Thanks, Treson.
