Contentment in Christ
Now, I'm not going to claim that my life is perfect and that everyday is a happy one, but I will say that I have finally found contentment. After a couple years (which is just minutes compared to other's lives) of being lost and confused; unsure and angry- I have finally found my way back. I'm finally at the point in my life where I'm okay if it stays the way it is. I stay busy, I have a few great, close friends, a supportive family, and a God that has my back and my heart. I've struggled in the past with lonliness. I've just wanted to find someone to share my days with. That someone has come into my life, but he's not tangible. I can't touch him, I can't see him, but I definitely feel him, and I talk to him. I may not get the answers I necessarily want, but I just keep trusting that he knows my heart better than anyone else ever could. If He doesn't bring a man into my life- I think I can handle that. Would it be nice? Absolutely, but I'm no longer hanging my happiness on that. I still struggle, I still question, but now I have more of a comfort that, no matter how much I question or stuggle, will get me through each day. People always say that you won't find contentment until you turn your life over to Christ 100%. How true that statement that is. You can't just give him a little piece here, and a little piece there- you have to turn it all over. It's not necessarily an easy thing to do. I know it isn't easy for me. I like having control of my life...and there are definitely days that I want to take it back, but I don't. I have given up control and in turn I have found contentment in Christ.
