That list I posted yesterday was quite the long list. Instead of feeling frustrated over not being able to get everything I want when "I" want to, instead of when my Higher Power (HP) or God wants me to, I know that eventually I'll get to some, and even perhaps most of what's on my list in its right time.
My HP/DA group helps me withstand the evil temptation that I have to go out and debt, and buy all those things I need/would like right away like shower doors (right now we are showering without any doors in the bathroom), a new couch, an LCD tv, replacing our plastic chairs for the dining area with real chairs.
So the other day, Hubby, in that voice full of temptation, tells me "Come, let's just go and get everything we need. Why not?" He's testing me. He is waiting for me to break and go on a wicked holiday spending spree with him. Why wait a year, two or three for these things, when you can just take a pocketsize plastic card with you and charge all those wonderful things to furnish a house?? It's just not the 21st century way!
But I held steadfast, and am grateful to my HP for granting me the ability to tell him "no."
