Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

The Difference between Want and Need . . .

Being in the city has brought up all kinds of wants and many "I really want that"! sayings.
For instance every time I walk into work I think - ugh, I cannot wait to get paid at the end of the month because I want - That.....skirt or dress or necklace or bowl!!
I think the enticement of the % discount makes me "Want" for these things MUCH more than normal!! ;)
Then being in Europe makes me want to visit:  here
and 
here
                                                                          in this
                                                                     i want!!! ;)
I Want, to find my "hub" aka my very own place in this vast congested city i live in. I want ALL the vintage things in the Spitafields market on Sundays  -
I Want for too much right now and it's becoming outrageous! Seriously - as I've spent all my monthly pay check in my head before it's even in the bank!! Stop it Anna -Control yourself! ;)
I've discovered other things I want.........
I watched a movie today called: The Secret Life of Bee's, guess where it was filmed? South Carolina - SO I cried, cause I'm a bit homesick, I want  Charleston to be apart of my home forever.
Although - Ireland(Kerry) will always be home too! 
I want a new pair of shoes ;) they soooo cute.....
I want a certain person back in my life....
All these wants are exhausting me!
Because for most of these "Wants" I Need

a bit of cash!!
a big (bike basket) to hold all the items while I cycle across the city....
and most importantly I Need
I Need to Know Him more, I Need to Want more of Him, i Need Him to rule my thoughts..... and my bank account it seems!! ;)
I have plenty of time to want, shop and explore, although recently I have been thinking it all needs to happen right now! So I've felt the wants have begun to take over my thoughts and have taken over what it is I really Want/need in my life:










So when I start to want over my need, I'll fall to the ground in humility (even if it is in front of Urban outfitters or that fab shoe shop in town)! And wait for His Grace to pick me up and remind me that I've nothing in my bank account!!! aaarrrggg!!
