On a Wife's Independence

What is your independence worth?
Is it worth...
...God's displeasure because you want what you want when you want it?
...Your husband's feelings of insufficiency because he can't provide for the ritzy lifestyle you want so desperately to live?
...Your children being trained by a 16 year old daycare worker because you weren't fufilled as an individual staying at home?
...Your husband's dislike of coming home because you never stop whining about how people treat you?
...Your husband's frustration because you deserve Starbucks at least once a day?
...Your husband's second job and decreased time with the family so that you could have a car and go where you want, when you want?
...A reputation of unreliability because you won't commit yourself just incase a better offer comes along?
...The loss of your husband's trust because you have the right to change your mind if you want to?
...Your husband's hunger and crankiness because you were too busy and important to get him dinner on time?
...Your children's education because you were too caught up in your important phone calls and email relationships?
God does not value our independence...He values our complete dependence on Him to provide what we need, not what we want, and to fufill us with the pleasure and joy of knowing Him, not accomplishing here in this world and reaping the praise of man.
