i want to be content
I just read a post by Talia over at Girlz of God about being content.
And I thought, "Wow. Content. Where'd that go?" Because I was sitting here, kinda confused, kind of unsure. And then it was just like, "Content? Content. I need to be content."
I've definitely over-used the word. But the point is, Paul knew the secret to being content -- he said so himself.
[content] 1. Desiring no more than what one has; satisfied.
I want to be content.
dear Jesus,
please show me how. Paul knew the secret; can you let me in on it?
iloveYou

Wonderful post, Emii. I love the honesty in your posts, and I often strive and think "I want to write like Emii!" Being content is so important, yet often so hard. I will pray that we will both be content in Christ <3.
