Being Content

I’ve found peace in whatever life throws my way, not because everything is perfect, but because I know I’m not walking through it alone. I have faith that no matter the challenge, I’ll be okay.

As I write this, I just received some disappointing news. But I’m leaning into the understanding that what wasn’t meant for me wasn’t part of God’s plan and that’s okay.

It’s hard sometimes when things don’t work out the way we hoped. We struggle because we attach ourselves to things of this world (myself included). I found myself clinging to something that, in the grand scheme of things, doesn’t even matter.

What truly matters is how I show up in my everyday life. Am I grateful for what I already have? Because the truth is I have the essentials. A bed to sleep in, food in the fridge, clothes to wear, and blessed to have a career I enjoy. Just like the birds in the sky or animals in the wild, I’m reminded that God provides. He always has.

I have everything I need to move in alignment with His will. Yes, I’m human. I’ll feel disappointment. But I won’t let it lead me into bitterness or distraction. I want to respond in a way that honors who I’m becoming in Christ.

Our mindset matters. We have to resist the pull of this world and remember where our true treasure lies. And my treasure? It’s not found here.
