We're actually home for 3 days which is nice. I'm really bad at this blogging thing, but I say I think I'm going to get better.
We just got home on Sunday from a 10 day run on the west coast. Its so gorgeous out there. Its an immediate change of atmosphere, I wonder if people have a little more life span because they breathe a little more out there?
We head out on Wednesday for the New England area of our country it should be fun! Thinking of planning activities for our rainy days weather forecast however. At the beginning of the summer I started making pillows with the girls, we need to finish those. That's my goal this weekend, while the bus is still of course, needles in the finger are painful! :)
I've been thinking a lot about the word contentment. For me, life is good when its busy busy busy! I enjoy that responsibility! Even though I sometimes will find myself complaining, ultimately I take pride in being a hard worker, getting tasks done!
So is this my thought, having contentment is such a big deal because when you as a follower of Christ, don't feel His moving, we are called to be content in that, because that is an expression of our Faith. And if we only have 'Faith' when God is providing and moving clearly around us, then that's really just peace in knowing God is there. But Faith is trusting God is there.
As I pray for wisdom daily, I pray now knowing that what I've been lacking so long is contentment, in order to express my faith that God is there, even when I don't feel Him, or see Him, or even understand Him.
If our beings were more content then the price wouldn't have to be so high for our commitment to follow Jesus wherever He'd like to lead us. We would follow, we would not have to have Blessing. Because we'd understand that living in Christ is the ultimate Blessing, and the only thing we really need. I'm convicted as I type. What's the hold back? Where's the green light on our leap of faith?
