30DWC - DAY 25 - Any word on Google Images.

So, this blog topic was very confusing to me. I am not really sure what it means. Maybe it is the wording. "Write something inspired by the 11th image"? Like are we supposed to write a story? Write a story up until the 11th image? What? Idk, But I picked a word, and I am just going to talk about this word for a min.

The word I picked was: Contentment. 

Contentment is a mental or emotional state of satisfaction drawn from being at ease in one's situation, body and mind. Colloquially speaking, contentment is a state of having accepted one's situation and is a form of happiness.  
(that came from wiki....not me..ha!)

I yearn so much for contentment in my life. To be completely at peace no matter what happens. But I think this state of mind can only be found through Jesus Christ. His love is the only thing that can give us peace in times of trouble and stress. I don't know of any other way in which to find contentment in our lives. Without the acknowledgement of God in our lives and our unfailing trust in Him we are in a constant state of worry and regret. We are never able to settle into our current situations with calmness and peace. We are constantly worried about what comes next instead of taking the time to rest in the present. This is something I constantly struggle with. All the time.

I want to find contentment in many areas of my life. I want to be content with my work life, with my appearance, with my creative life, with everything. I want to stop being so stressed and worried about everything all the time. Thinking too far in the future and not focusing on what I have right in front of me. I know that I need to dive into God's word to really find this peace and happiness. I do not read my Bible or spend time with God as much as I should. I do not feel like I have the relationship with Him that I know I should have. I just feel like I am going through the motions. Like I believe what I believe and that is enough. But it's NOT enough. And I need to ponder on this and remember it in every aspect of my life. Not just when I am stressed and feel like I need to turn to God for comfort. I want to turn to God for everything! Only He can provide me with the contentment that I seek.
