When I grow up, I will have that!

We stepped off the plane in Delaware
and a cold hit my face

"Get in the car as fast as you can!"
I told myself

The car rolls up
hugs are exchanged
the seat heaters are on

"When I grow up, I will have seat heaters in my car!"
...

We get to the house
windows look out to the bay
beautiful from the warmth inside

"When I grow up, I will have a house with a view like this!"
...

While reading "Crazy Love" in the front nook
(looking out at the bay)
I read this passage:

     "In the parable of the sower, Jesus explained that the seed is the truth (the Word of God). When the seed is flung onto the path, it is heard but quickly stolen away. When the seed is tossed onto the rocks, no roots take hold; there is an appearance of depth and growth because of the good soil, but it is only surface level. When the seed is spread among the thorns, it is received but soon suffocated by life's worries, riches, and pleasures. But when the seed is sown in good soil, it grows, takes root, and produces fruit. 
     My caution to you is this: Do not assume you are good soil.
     I think most American churchgoers are the soil that chokes the seed because of the thorns. Thorns are anything that distracts us from God. When we want God and a bunch of other stuff, then that means we have thorns in our soil. A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled on top of it."

Well...
Yes, yes I have learned something here

I cant help that I still want seat warmers
But I want the Lord more
And when focused on all I have in Him
I am overwhelmed
