I just read a great devotional by Darlene at Living Well Wednesday. She talks about "Hunting and Pursuing". I catch myself, so often, trying to get more. More stuff. I know the differnce between want and need, but so often I just go for the "want". It's the same with food. Am I really hungry, or do I just want to eat because I'm bored? Perhaps I've just finished a meal and I am satisfied, but that pie looks awfully good. I want it, I don't need it!
I am trying to change my want vs. need mentality in all ways, especially where food is concerned.
What about Christ? My relationship is with Him is definitely a need. I try to pursue Him everyday, but so often I fall short and don't follow through. I let life get so busy that I forget to spend time and make that time that I spend with Him a priority. It is a need. A need that once I grab onto will fill me up in all ways.
I hope you are Living Well. Not just by meeting your physical needs but most especially in letting Christ consume you.

Bless you sweetie, will be praying for you.
So beautifully put. I think I'll be remembering your reminders of "want" and "need" all week. Thanks.
