Contentment

28 Mar

Tonight I attended a Maundy Thursday service for the first time ever. I also spent the day with my sponsor because I didn’t have classes or work. It was a good day of respite for me.

I realized tonight that I am becoming content with myself as a person and as a woman.

I see this happening for two reasons:

1. The Father, Spirit, and Jesus have been lavishing me with grace, strength, and wisdom.

2. I have learned to pray, “God, make Your desires, my desires. May I only want the things that You want.” And I’m finding that when you want the things that God wants He generally gives them to you.

Anyways. I’m so glad that God gave me today. I don’t know if I could have handled another day of being spiritually, mentally, and emotionally on edge.
