Green with Envy

Did we not just have a fabulous General Conference in which President Uchtdorf taught us that we should not have feelings of contempt or wanting to cause harm or coveting, and if we do to STOP IT.  Coveting. I remember him saying this because I have been having a hard time with comparing myself to the cute girls in my ward saying in my head, she has such cute clothes and a cute house.  I wish I could go buy cute clothes.  I wish we were close to owning our own home.  Neither of which is a necessity.  Because I have clothes and a roof over my head, that we can afford.

So knowing the words of our wise prophets, why am I having such a hard time? I know that sweater at Bohme was SO cute and only 18 dollars, but if I buy that, I'll buy more because I'll need want the whole outfit. And my cute husband will let me do it. So, to console myself I get on pinterest to satisfy my need want for new clothes by pinning cute outfits that I will never buy because they are horrendously expensive.  But then I start thinking about that darn sweater again.  I need to STOP IT! And fast! I have everything in world I could ask for right now.  An amazing husband who loves his family and a perfect little baby with a roof over our heads and food. Some people don't have in their lives what we consider a 'necessity.'  Like a cell phone and shoes and coat.  I am one blessed little lady. I just need to remember that.

Sorry for the rant.
