I feel like I have been going 90-to-nothing for the past couple of weeks, sometimes with no clear calm down time in sight. Already this semester I have stage managed a play, a dance piece, and am now acting in a scene that a friend of mine is directing for a class. If this sounds like a lot of work, trust me, there's a reason.
Despite all that work though, I have had a constant thought going through my head. I struggle day in and day out with simply being content in the life that I live. It is so easy to be swept away as part of the materialistic world that we live in. To think that we always need to move on to the next big thing. That we always need to have the world's norm in order to be accepted. But you want to know a secret? That's not the way God works. He accepts us. He LOVES us. And isn't that more than any of us could possibly ask for? What reason do we have to not be content if we have God's love?
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I
have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
-Philippians 4:12
