well it's official.
craigslist is one of the greatest things to grace the world wide web.
i have been wanting to get rid of my couch for a while. I put up a few flyers at my apartment's communtiy ad boards. then yesterday I put it on craigslist and BAM! today it's sold. Friday it will be gone.
Now I need to get a new couch. I am excited. I want something awesome and rediculously comfortable. I can't wait to spend a whole saturday couch shopping.
yes yes yes.
I also, in the time i've been looking online at couches, have come to realize there's a lot of stuff I want.
New sheets, a rug, curtains?, wacky lamps, coffee table...... then when you look at anthropologie for furnishings you're bound to get side tracked onto the apparel section... so there's a whole new set of wants...
why do i always want something more or different than what I have?
do you think it could be related to the fact that I am a new creation that has been awakened to the idea that there is so much more that I am a part of, beyond this life? that maybe my always wanting something is like a spiritual parallel to my soul yearning for heaven.
i think this is a valid analysis. however, the flaw comes in that where my soul is eternal and never will run dry, my checking acount is very finite and will run dryer faster than i can say "oo oo gimme that!"
Also, the things that my soul longs towards are much deeper and more satisfying than a new throw pillow.
but you get the idea.
there's a want on the surface that is a superficial tale of the deep and real want that lies below.
Heaven
Can't wait
It's gonna be great.

I agree Emily, Heaven is gonna be great. I think you're right, just about everything that goes on seems to be a picture of the eternal...or the longing for the eternal...in some way. I spent a lot of last year studying Hebrews which opened my eyes to the pictures that God surrounds us with and in that speak to what's to come and how it will be better than anything we've ever imagined. Ahh, can't wait!
