"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and i will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you. let me teach you, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29)
Hey everyone sorry for the couple days of no posts. I currently came back from my churches Ladies retreat. What an Amazing and encouraging time it was.
One of the questions that was asked while we were doing our morning devotions was "What makes you content?". 1 Timothy 6:6 says "But godliness with contentment is great gain".
I thought about this question for a while afterwards. There is many things that make me happy or Content. Like eating, oh man! Do i love to eat; Pizza, Cheese Cake, Chicken Fingers, Corn-on-the-Cob, Home made chicken noodle soup. Yes, this stuff only fills me for a little while, then i get hungry again. These things only make me happy while I'm stuffing them in my mouth.
But, then i really thought about it, The only time when i am truly happy is when i draw. That's when i feel like I am using the gifts God gave me for good. Then all my fears and troubles go away, and i think about nothing. That's when i feel close to God. I feel Content with what i am doing then, I Spend hours just sitting and creating my art.
What makes you Content in life, when do you truly feel like your close to God? When are you happy?

I've been thinking a lot about the message too. I'm feeling a lot closer to God right now, and I feel so much more at peace. There are a few things that I think would make me feel more content, but when I really think about it, those things would only cause temporary contenment. I'm really looking forward to learning even more about God and his Word and purpose for my life.
