I stare at the ice cream pouring over, the candy decorations and the layers of chocolate. And I think to myself, "That's not a dessert. That's an Instagram post!"

And such novelties like the chocolate explosion dessert is just that... something gone viral. Here today, gone tomorrow. Boasting about yet another boyfriend. Bragging about a new job every single year... well, you can post about these experiences, but it's short-lived. The newness fades. And just as quickly as it is attained - it's now on to something else.

What I am looking for is not something new to post… or a trend to follow... but something real to live. I experience this when I applaud a couple who's been married for 50 years. I feel encouraged when someone retires from a career after lifelong loyalty to the same profession. The motto of my Church, Faith Assembly, is: Find Something Real. I would say the beauty of Christian fellowship and the faith of a Savior falls into the category of something that is lasting and genuine.

I don't want just another novelty, another fad, another thing trending. I relate to Jane Hayes in this scene from the movie: Austenland.
Mr. Henry Nobley: What do you want?
Jane Hayes: I want something real.


If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you.
