I read it back in December, looked up John Piper's website, bookmarked it, and forgot about it. I was looking through my bookmarks recently and found it again and have been exploring his writing. I started reading "When You Don't Desire God" online and decided to buy it. What a great book for someone seeking not a perfunctory, but a soul-rending, life-changing relationship with our amazing God. I had to come back here to thank you for pointing me to his work.

I found your blog through links on MDC. I've enjoyed reading your posts since October or November, as well as your MDC posts in the compact/decluttering forums.<br /><br />I especially like your Biblical quote about cultivating inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in. I just love that. Hi. I found your blog through links on MDC. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts since October or November, as well as your MDC posts in the compact/decluttering forums.

I just don't feel the need or what to buy much right now...even for the baby. I can't buy clothes b/c that would be rediculous unless they stretch. And we're moving so I know I'll want things there. And I just feel that I don't need anything. I guess I have so much more to think about now than myself. It's been good. It’s so funny and great what pregnancy has done to me.

I usually read to him from mine so it is my fault that there is dust around here, not his! Didn't want to give the wrong impression. :o) Stike that part about the dusty Bible.

“The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.”

So many hungry souls, even Christians, who just nibble at the One who can satisfy but try to fill up on everything else.

Really awesome. <BR/><BR/>We are trying - ok, I am trying to be satisfied with my house right now and it's so hard! So much pressure! It's tiny (I submitted ons of picture on Mothering, remember me? Tiny house? Green and blue walls?). We have three children- so I have more than enough excuses to need more than 2 bedrooms and 900sq feet. And someday- it change may have to happen- but today? Tommorow? Next year? No- we're all ok- if we'd only let go of all this junk or at least earn to take care of what we have. <BR/><BR/>It seems like it's always the same lesson from God- "LET THIS GO." Thanks for another shove in the right direction. Awesome. Really awesome.
