Many months have passed since I've blogged the last time. And many things have taken place; some pleasant, and some heartbreaking. Some changes have been made that have tried my faith, and some things have happened that have worn me down. But through it all, I'm still standing. And I've realized one thing now; life is an adventure.
You know, so many times we look at life through the "American dream". Everything must happen a certain way. Such as: after high school, we go to college, get a career, settle down, raise a family, and then what.... We die? Why does this seem so shallow? Shouldn't there be more to it all?
And throughout these last months I've battled such a low image of who I am. All because of this false "mold" that society had produced, telling me who I should be and what I should be doing.
But what happened to finding out what God wants? What happened to just simply living out our lives He gave us?
And with every passing day, I believe God wants me to be simply content in the place I find myself. Paul said in Philippians 4:11 " ......for I have learned in whatsoever state I am, there with to be content." And if he can say that in the midst of being persecuted and hated and thrown in jails, and being stoned, how much more should I be able to!
God made only one of each of us. And we need to be content with ourselves, our personalities and our little quirks, and our current status in life. Why would God let us move forward if we can't be satisfied now?
So live life to the fullest. Because after all, it's a beYOUtiful adventure to be in.
