Dealing With Life Envy
replicate the pictures. I see the idea wardrobe on Pinterest and wish mine looked the same.
all. Is the 10% we know of someone’s life, really the “perfect” life that we see or what is portrayed? Do we really want their life?
The past few posts have been filled with pictures about what we have been up to physically. It has been exciting, a lot of hard work, and a bit stressful at times, but overall the transition has gone smoothly, which we couldn’t be more thankful for. We haven’t felt too overwhelmed with meeting new people,…
You are shopping with a friend. You see a GREAT deal, but know that you don’t really need it. You think “eh, I’ll just pay for it later.” Cha-ching. You pay with your credit card. You go to the next store or even shop a few days later and say the same thing. Then the…
I thought I had decluttered enough. You see, I have been in the “decluttering” stage for the past few years, and what I am learning, is that you are really never done. Anytime you bring something into your home, often something else does not leave. That is one reason why clutter happens. Next weekend our…
What: Learning talents of old Why: Do you have dreams of learning to crochet, knit, darn socks, sew, or even cross stitch? I realize that some of these skills are past their prime and they may not be as useful as they once were. Is that desire still there, though? Do you look at that afghan laying…
Today I was doing my Bible study for the week and it’s based off of Genesis 12:1-13:4. It’s the story of Abraham’s calling and his response to the call. God called Abraham. His calling is beautifully written out in Genesis 12:2-3. God called him to leave his country, his people, and pick up his whole…

The thing I tell myself, regarding life envy, is "well it would be better for that person to be broke, in the hospital, etc etc so that it makes you feel better" — meaning, would someone else have to have a horrible life with no blessings for my happiness!? No… I should rejoice with others when they are blessed because thats what I would want others to do with me if I am blessed in anything. We don't realize what the end of our thoughts are really. We don't realize as you said, what does their life look like in totality. Additionally, our heart attitude should be one of joy for others as they receive or have any blessing; because someday the Lord will bless us too and others will look on at that.
You are so right Joni! It is sometimes hard to rejoice when going through difficult times, but you are so right we still should be because God may bless us like that someday. We just never know! And we never know what God has in store for us! Hang in there girl! Thinking of you!
