Contentment..

Contentment is something that I strive for. It is not a naturally occuring emotion that happens in my body. I am happy somedays, but honest contentment is hard to come by. I think it is more of a state of mind than an actual feeling. You have to know that you are okay with what is happening in your life right now and it be enough. I have a hard time being content, although with God's help, I can be. While there are many areas of my life that are up in the air and all over the map, to use a couple of cliche sayings, I want contentment to be my overall feeling. Too many things get to me too easily. So I am going to work hard and ask for God's help in being content with the life he has given me. I babysat last night. It was a blast. The children I watched used to be in my class at work. The older child I had in my 2 year old class when I first started at the daycare. The younger child I had in my current class from about July until December, when the children were pulled from the daycare. These kids had me cracking up. We truly had fun and the night ended well. Today was church. (Technically it still is because I have to go back tonight.) I was in the nursery for part of the morning and got to see my babies. They have gotten so big. I went to service for the second service and it was awesome as usual. Today was All on the Altar Sunday, which is where people make commitments to participate in a program we have called FAITH. In FAITH, groups of people basically go visit people who have visited the church and witness to them and let them know about Christ and our church. It is a wonderful program. Other than the usual stuff, life has been pretty good this week. I have almost been writing in this blog for a week, and while it hasn't been every night because of some random things that have happened this week, it's been fun. I don't know if I will keep up with the trying to do it every day thing because I honestly don't think I have that much to say every day- but I would like to try. So here is to being content with your life- whatever may happen.
