Genesis 30

Sunday, February 04, 2007, 9:07:58 AM

Gosh!! After reading this chapter . . . I'm just tired. I mean I feel like I just read a war! Leah and Rachel really got after it. They went back and forth having babies either by their own bodies or with their maidservants. It seems as though envy is rulling their hearts. They must really be abnormal because of their struggle with envy? Right?Oh . . . so far from wrong. You can totally love the Lord and really desire to serve Him and still struggle with envy. I'll be honest, I'm a girl that loves to shop. I know I know that's strange and not cliche or anything. I'm really good at shopping wisely. I love finding deals and shopping at places no one else knows about. If I am really honest though . . . I know there are times when I am envious of girls that aren't in school and working part time. They can afford to spend at least a little more on clothes (or at least I think they can . . . I could be wrong). There are moments when they may not even know about it, but I'm in a Leah/Rebecca war with them . . . but it is over clothes not babies. Yuck . . . this isn't pretty. God I pray that you would tame the desires that I have to look a certain way and that my desire would instead be to please you fully.
