I'm not gonna lie--I miss sweets. A lot.
I went to buy groceries yesterday and bought my hubby some Oatmeal Cream Pies, because they are one of his favorite treats. And I was hungry. So as I loaded up the car I thought for a split second, I'm gonna have one of those! In the past, I would have--in fact I probably would have had two or three on the drive home. Instead, I reached over into the bag of apples, and had that instead. While it is easy to say now that I am proud of that decision I made, I honestly wonder--can I keep this up for the rest of my life? I know I need to. I know I WANT to even. But can I...?
How can I know in my head what is best for me, yet my heart still wants something different?
Why don't I crave God like I crave sweets? I wish I did.
That is my prayer today--"Dear Lord, help me crave You above all things."
--Amen
