I haven't had much time to just vent lately, but I haven't really had that much to vent about. I started school last week again, and I'm taking Greek, Christian Ethics, and Systematic Theology. The Mardi Gras season is in full swing, and my family is coming down this weekend to partake in some of the exciting festivities.
I was caught off guard today by my co-workers Jindal bashing time. I thought everyone liked our governor. I was wrong.
Day to day struggles are a constant reminder to me of God's calling to be content in whatever situation he has given me. Contentment. I have a difficult time with that concept. I'm always wondering what's around the corner or desiring things that I just don't have. I was reading Beth Moore's book Breaking Free a few weeks ago, and I've realized that there have been some things in my life that I thought I couldn't live without. Things that I thought I needed to exist. As God has been revealing these areas of idolatry (what a horrible word), I've come to see the strongholds that I have built up against Him. It is a daily process, this release of what I think I need to Him, but He is slowly resurfacing my joy in the face of His ultimate truth.
