So I’m working on something new lately. Contentment.See pretty much I feel like my life sucks alot. I feel like, if I had a job (which I dont) if I was already married (which I’m not) or if I had an apartment, collage education, car (can I stop now?), that I would be so beyond accomplished and I wouldn’t have to even work at being content.  Its not true, and I HATE it! I just want to feel like something is going my way.See the problem here? Yes, its the my way part (and maybe alittle of the hate part.)I’ve taken my focus off of what it should be on and put it on me. Its like the whole tree in the forest thing. I’m missing out on what else is great and wonderful in my life. And lacking a whole big bunch of thankfulness. Yes, I dont have a job. But, I am having time to study and read, and I am thankful that I have a roof over my head that I can take time to find a good one. Yes, I’m not married but, I’m getting married. Yes planning a wedding is something I am SO only going to do once. But, I am doing it. I dont have a degree but, I know now fully what I want to do with my life. I know now the gifts that God has given me, and I have learned how to use them! I feel like thats one of the big problems with our culture. Instead of us being thankful for what we have, and letting that lead us to contentment we fight it and want more.  See contentment has nothing to do with things. Contentment is being happy and thankful no matter what you have or what you own. Like they say money doesn’t buy happiness.
