spoken to.

"for I have learned in whatever situation I am in to be content"
Philippians 4:11
So, I was going to go to bed early tonight, but I came across this verse in my reading, and it spoke volumes to me.. I had to share it!
Basically, what I got out of this was God saying, "Stop worrying about everything, and just be content with your life." It was like a reality check to me because lately, I'm not content with just fixing one aspect of life.. I wanna do it all. I want to make good grades, I want to become a servant leader, I worry about my appearance (hey, i'm a female), I get over-involved, I think about relationships and the future, etc., and I do it all WAY too much. If I would just be completely content with my life the way it is, God will add to it as He sees fit.. and it would be so much easier. Without worrying, there isn't stress, and without stress.. there is plenty of happiness :) I know that seems like a long shot, but it's so possible, and I'm beginning to see how God's already started showing me where and how to be content. Gosh, God is good.
I'll update you on my life real quick:
Today, I worked from 8AM-6PM... long stinkin day.
but I am so blessed to have the job I have.
I love working at FBC Belton!
I love the people I work with, and I love my kiddos.
I have been getting so much fulfillment out of my job lately,
and it's a beautiful thing. :)
those 3 and 4 year olds really make me smile!
Tonight, I went to dinner with my home group from TBC: NASH BASH!
love them, love them, love them!
Everyone in our group is so absolutely different in so many ways,
but we have SO much fun together,
and we get along so well.
I am just so happy around them.
I decided to become a college YoungLife leader..great decision.
I already love it!
I love the other leaders, I love the small groups, all of it! :)
I'm super excited to invest in lives and see God move in huge ways!
I recently started going to the gym again...
and it's a great stress reliever.
I'll probs be spending lots of time there :)
and my rangers.. well, they're not so great right now,
but at least they're in the world series! :)
and now, I'm ready for bed, but I had to share :)
love youuu
