It's funny that today's devotion was on "contentment".
Just last night, my hubby and I were discussing that I needed to be happy and content in every day things. I find myself "happy" all day long and when I get home I tend to "let it all out". I'm not sure why I do this?!? I've discussed this before (I think on my other blog) about how I let the worst side of me show to the ones I love the most. I don't get this? But, I seem to be an expert at doing it.
Let's just say that I was not in the best of moods yesterday. I am so stressed out about a lot of things and I feel like there are a million things "on my plate". I needed to vent, and I needed to cry, and my hubby seemed to be the perfect outlet. This is something that happens more often than I'd like it to, but it is what it is and I know I need to change that.
Anyways, so when today's devotion was on contentment I had to *lol* and remember that God has a great sense of humor! He knew exactly what I needed.
So many things are happening in my life that are fabulous! I got a new job! This is so exciting for me and everything that it entails calls for happiness and contentment. So why do I find the stressful things? I don't know?!? Instead of looking at ALL the good, I'm finding the small things to stress over. I guess I feel guilty sometimes is I'm basking in contentment but there are still ends to be tied. I'm not sure?
There were some lines today in my devotions that hit me...I want to share them because they are so powerful!
- "God's always given his people assignments that are too big for them to handle alone so that a watching world can see not what we can do - but what God can do."
- Content - it literally means "desiring no more than what one has; satisfied."
- And one that I have in our home "Thank God for what you have and trust God for what you need."
"Happiness isn't having what you want; it's wanting what you have."
