Content with my content

This one is wonderful. I, like Paul, in the Bible am learning to abase and abound. That’s what this one means to me. I would find it impossible to hover around the center because my life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows, the agony and the ecstasy – you get the picture. Realistically, I’m not sure I would have it any other way.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to ride that roller coaster all the time. I like and even crave the the calm even tempered seasons of life.

But I would not be me without the passions, tears, highs and lows. I have learned to thrive whether I have enough or not enough and whether I am joyful or despairing. So I am learning to be content whether I abase or abound.

But I cannot deny emotions for they are also me so I must embrace them and know that I can still find contentment. Win or lose.
