I'm glad you were able to tell your fears. That is the first step. Then you begin to realize that what you have and what you need are miles apart. Sometimes, you become a better person when you are able to recognize what is and what isn't important. I'm quite a bit older than you, actually I have children your age, and have found that all those things I spent my life acquiring, own me now. I wish I would have been a little less materialistic earlier in life. Just ask yourself do we really need this? Also I think it is important to realize that sometimes we are buying things not so much because we really want them but to entertain us, to fill a hole in our lives. When you let those things go, you have to examine yourself & your relationships with your family and friends, but mostly with God. You cannot truly give yourself to Him until you are willing to let all those material things go. Good luck to you and your little family. Please let us know how you are doing. We care.
