two issues are heavy on my mind this christmas, things that i don't totally know how to deal with myself. consumerism and materialism. i am trying to figure out what it looks like to live in a culture that revolves around how much stuff we have, yet not be a part of it. and not even try to not to be a part of it, but actively persue ways of being counterculural in this way. i am going to be honest-just when i commit to not buying anything new, i walk into the gap and easily throw everything out the window. therefore, i would like to share a few sites that really have convicted me as well as helped shaped some of my thoughts on this issue. i do beleive if i am to truly strive after jesus, and live a life that he calls me to, i need to be bringing the kingdom in all the ways he asks, not just a few. i don't beleive the kingdom contains all the stuff i care so much about.
