    This is beautiful. I want to relax, to be happy for what I have, and to stop overanalyzing my life, because it’s a freaking wonderful thing. And in order for that to happen, I do have to let God into my life more. Thank you for the wonderful reminder :)

    This was one of my favorite posts of yours lady! And I think your “I want a life that glorifies God” is what I want too. I also want A/C. They ended up not finishing everything properly on Monday and it being a total tease that we had it. So now I have to wait until tonight. Boo! LOL

    You’ve hit on something very personal I am going through. I appreciate you sharing your values. Faith is first and foremost. We can accomplish anything through Him.

    Delete Facebook, seriously! That can be the worst.

    It’s so wonderful to want things! It really shows that you’re living and growing and hungry for the best of life. Great post :) I want to always want something more from life - because I’m sure with so many wonderful people, places, and opportunities - we can never get enough!
