the moments.

I heard something on the radio yesterday that really struck home.

Contentedness doesn't mean being content with your situation forever. It means being content with where you are and what you have in that moment. It's taking it all in stride, enjoying the things that you wish wouldn't change and even those things that you wish would change. Life goes too quickly for us to want the future to be here now.

I can't even tell you how hard this is for me to apply to my life. I struggle constantly to enjoy the things that I don't feel are important to where I want to be. Chem lab, I'm talking to you. But God gave me each and every moment of my life for a purpose, I would hate to waste one in any state other than joy.

So today, I'm reminded to treasure the life God gave me, the moments alone, and the moments shared. Those learning and those resting. For they are each uniquely crafted by the father who gives us life.

Amen? Amen.
