Being Content.

Being Content. 
I've been thinking about the verse Philippians 4:11.  it reads:  "Not that I am speaking of being in need,  for I have learned in whatever situation I am in, to be content."
What is being content? 
Being content is being at peace. 
Contentment to me  is being happy and able to go day to day without being anxious about stuff,  and  being OK with how your life is. 
It's not wrong to want more out of life, you just also have to be happy with your life the way it is. Be peaceful with  it.  Aim for the moon but be just as happy if you land on a star. Ya know what I mean? 
In the Bible it tells us to be content,  here in 1 Timothy 6:6 it says: But godliness with contentment is great gain.  I'm sure there are more Bible verses that will tell us more about contentment,  but right now I have no Internet so I can't look up online the verses I need to use as references. 😕
And I would go get my bible but my sick cat is finally sleeping,  and he's sleeping on me.  So I suggest you look more verses up! 

And remember,  you have someone that loves you very much.  His name is Jesus. He loves, and he's never going to leave you.  He wants YOU to accept him as your Lord and Savior.  Pick up a bible and just read,  go online and search for somewhere to read the Bible,  and you'll see a lot of verses on how much Jesus loves you. Jesus DIED for YOU. That's huge, OK.  Huge.  He loved you so much that he sacrificed himself. He loves you!!!

God's Art.

I walked out to the fence where my land stops and my neighbors starts. I was only there to catch the fighting cats, but something else stopped me. It was the beauty. The lovely pond, the wonderful blue sky, and the endless trees and magnificent fields. As I rocked back and forth on  the wire fence, admiring the serene beauty I started to think. This is God's art. I thought. And I'm God's art. I am beautiful because God created me. It's so awesome that God wanted me in this world, that I have a purpose. That God saw me fit to fulfill this purpose in life. Suddenly everything seemed OK. Being behind on school was OK, fighting with my parents seemed stupid and OK, all my worries were so little and stupid. Everything was OK. Everything I had just thought went to my heart. Knowing that God created beautiful, wonderful things. Nothing changed but somehow everything did. Jesus loves me and he gave me a purpose in life. His purpose. It's truly an honor 💕 Just...

Some see a weed, I see a wish.

Have you ever seen one of these? Well many people call it a weed.  But what I see is a wish.  A prayer really.  Whatever I wish for  I pray about to.  So for me it's a reminder to pray.  Then I just pray about so much more so that "weed"  helps me spend more time with God.  What is it you see? A weed or a wish?

Love, Peace, Hope, Joy.

The words love, hope, peace and joy used to be just words to Me. But after really being depressed and stressed I gave all my problems to God and I'm trusting him to take care of me. The other day I was feeling really bad and I got really mad and upset when some girl was being insensitive about my grandpa's  death. She probably didn't know it but it still hurt me all the same. So anyway I was feeling horrible and I had been fighting with my mom and so I was upset. And then I thought of the song "Something in the water"  by Carrie Underwood. And in the song she talks about giving everything bad over to God and she found love, and strength and now she is changed. So I went in my bedroom,  I fell to my knees,  and I asked God to forgive me for not trusting him when I know I should have,  and I gave him everything. I'm happy now. I am loved by God,  I can hope in God, I get Joy from God and and most importantly to me I have found peace in God. The Lord is...
