as i was saying, my last post was about contentment. and i realized something. i said previously that contentment wasnt one of the things i was "supposed" to be studying, but it was the one thing i really really wanted to accomplish.
then i realized something: im supposed to be focusing on peace. and as i draw closer to God and seek peace from Him, i find my life changing.
im more grateful.
i dont complain as often.
i appreciate more things more.
i see the small, amazing things He does.
im taking better care of myself, and liking it.
im feeling better, more hopeful about my future.
im gaining peace.
and as i gain peace, i get more & more content in who i am as a person, who i am in Christ, my life and how it has been in the past, my life and the direction it is going now.
peace from God = contentment.
[now, contentment should not be confused with complacency. you can appreciate the stage youre in now and have joy, but strive for better. we always strive for better.]
