The other night I said these exact words “Lord, this is not what I wanted.”  I immediately heard these words “Since when do your wants override your needs?” I admit it, I want things.  Nice car, home, vacation home, boat, a chest bigger than my gut, kids that behave all the time…and the list goes [...]
