moving from content

Ok... I am the most content Guy on know. I don't have a lot of stuff and don't care to. There are nice things that I like...one merrells, two Iphone... so recently I have wanted to upgrade in several areas. One being the refrigerator. Don't ask me. Why do I care about the refrigerator. I don't know... I just couldn't stand it anymore and went and bought a new one. (3 months old steal on Craiglist). Now the vehicle issue has been brewing for a while. My vehicle is pretty nice, it has lots of issues, lots of them. broken this broken that. Lots of miles and weird noises. I actually drove a new car today! well...20k miles new. It was nice. You see I have never picked out a car that I wanted to drive. I have always just bought the cheapest car I could find. I have had 11 cars between rachel and I in 11 years. WOW! Most of them have broke down, a couple we gave away, and some we sold because we needed a bigger family SUV or minivan.

So am dealing with feeling guilty for wanting to drive a nice new(er) vehicle. So why I just go buy a SUV or truck like I want ---Guilt. I can't imagine living with guilt in areas of my life that actually matter, like relationships! Be free in Jesus name if that is you. Guilt seems to be fear driven. What will people think?
