31 Days of Loving Life: Day 1 Welcome

Welcome to 31 Days of Loving Life!

I must admit, I wasn't going to hop on the #31Days train.  But, I feel like God is leading me through this, so I am jumping on board!

I welcome your comments and feedback and look forward to taking this journey with you.

As a side note, this blog will be moving to a permanent home soon!  The new site is simplylovingthislife.com.

Now, let's get this train rolling!

In my life I have experienced some terrible seasons of discontentment.  I hate those seasons.  They are so uncomfortable, even painful. 

It is my prayer that as I share my heart, God's truth and my experiences with you, that you will find contentment in your life.

Did you just cringe when I said contentment?  Don't worry, I did too.

Why is it that the mere mention of being content or contentment bring up thoughts of living in lack and settling for second best?

Do you know that the definition of contentment is : the state of being contented; satisfaction; ease of mind.

Hmm, ease of mind makes me think peace.  Peace.  Oh, I like that.  Total peace.  Makes me take a deep breath just thinking about it.

Do you also know that a synonym of contentment is happiness?  Yep, it's true.  Happiness. 

I defintately don't tie hapiness together with lack and settling.

As we continue through our journey we are going to delve deeper into learning that being content with where you are (on your way to where your going) is wonderful.  It's a place of peace and happiness.  Inhale. Exhale. 

I hope you join us!
