#6-Become. More. Content.

When I stripped down my heart's desire tonight I say that at the core...

I. want. to. become. more. content.

I have struggled with this in my life in some capacity for my whole life. When I was in Junior High I compared myself to those who wore Guess jeans and I didn't. And that still shows up in my life as a 36 year old today. And as much as I know this quality has had it's strange benefits...like it has pushed me to become who I am through always pushing the limit and wondering what else could be possible in this situation? I know it is time to allow it to swing to the other side. To stop wondering all the time if I should move to the ocean or the mountains or teach art or buy end tables or grow my hair long or cut it short. Because truly I will always be discontent in something. And knowing that actually brings this weird freedom, to be more content. So here's to be content in discontentment. Because as Paul said "I have learned to be content in all circumstances and I know that it in Him that I have strength."

Interesting combination of thoughts. Strength through contentment in all circumstances. That is more of who I want to become.
