i'm still lovin' jennifer rothschild's me myself & lies bible study. one principle, from the first week, still resonates so strongly with me....particularly on a day like today. she teaches us that: who i am and what i struggle with are not the same.
hmmm...think about it. what are your struggles?
i struggle mightily with one area of discontentment in my life. unfortunately, i've been known to let that area of discontent seep into other areas of my life. areas where i am perfectly content...specifically, my relationship with husband, my interactions with my child.
i am guilty of allowing my discontentment to swallow my contentment. truly, eat it up whole.
unfortunately, i'm afraid my discontentment - in this particular area of my life - will continue until God's perfect timing releases it from my life or until God decides i have (somewhat) adequately learned the valuable lesson of peace outside of my circumstances. (and, there's always that patience thing).
regardless, i am striving to remind myself daily that i am more than my discontentment. i will not let my discontentment define me. and, only i can stop my discontent from poisoning the other areas of an otherwise content life.
