1 month on the shopping diet

I haven't purchased any clothing for over a month now (which I'm sure I have done before, but this will continue until May!) Yesterday I went to the mall with 2 friends and it actually was not tempting. Sure, I saw lots of things that I liked but walking into a store with the mindset that I cannot buy anything is actually really liberating. My favorite pair of jeans ripped in the knee this past week. They are obviously still wearable, but what if they rip in more places and become unwearable? That was what instantly popped into my head, before I reminded myself that I have at least 6 other pairs of jeans that would suffice.
Though this shopping diet, God is teaching me to reevaluate how I spend everything-time, money for food, etc. I need to realize more fully that He really is all I need!
