I will be praying for you! Sometimes it is harder to live in the US than abroad. The material longings are endless. We are ALL prone to wander but He is good to bring us back to His good promises for our life. Take care, Becky

It’s really hard to not feel those normal longings when we are bombarded with them from every side in society and when you are at a time and place when you don’t have them. I like your “soaring and sinking” way of looking at it those feelings.
When my Dad unexpectedly died, I looked at his car, his possessions and even his shoes, and realized he would never have any use for them again. It was a striking example to me how all these possessions are so temporary and unimportant “things” in the end. You only take with you the experiences, the learnings, the love for others, the friendships etc- things you carry within your spirit. Guess we just constantly need to remind ourselves, eh?

It is very hard, in this society to break free from the worldview that surrounds us and bombards us daily to live differently. We also live in a society bent on guilt – try not to get to bound up in the reeds of guilt!
