Dinner #7

I am getting used to the new mindset of asking myself : "Does this serve a purpose?" . I do this before I speak, before I act. I certainly have been getting the hang of it when it comes to shopping. The one thing I always did, and liked to do must stop. I am weaning off of it. If I go to a store I tell myself it serves no purpose. I had to go into Bed Bath and Beyond for some tioletries and they had the cutest flipflop door mat...Aww!! They had the coolest bright neon colored make up cases....want them! But I can't...I remind myself old habits, old mindset. But I am honest with myself and I am sad. I am feeling pity. But I think of my Lord's face and all His promises and I realize my life with Him is more meaningful than those summer things that will fade and get lost amongst all my other possessions. Upon this realization the Lord commands of me something else...shed my earthly materials that no longer serve a purpose, that no longer represent me as I am now. I don't need fancy watches, handbags, shoes, all the things I wore that I thought represented my success..no longer needed, nor required, nor of God.
