This past week has been crazy! School is really bearing down, and getting tough. It is not really hard, just so much work that I have barely any free time. I am keeping my head though, and trying to find a calm in this storm.
I have noticed, that lately I have been looking for contentment in all the wrong places, and walking away empty handed and frustrated. I need to find my contentment in Christ alone, and then I will be satisfied.
I find myself constantly comparing myself to others, whether that be in my relationship with my girlfriend, how I do academically, how I do in sports, and almost everything else I can think of.
It is crazy! Here I have everything I need and more, God has blessed me much more than I can ever thank him for, and beyond what I deserve, yet I complain. I have an amazing girlfriend, something I was convinced I could not have, or at least not this year. Yet here I am, with a girl that I have so much in common with, yet she still challenges me, and keeps me honest.
Life is an adventure, and it is important that during our journey we stop, and ask ourselves what is really important, or we will lose sight of it so easily. All I am saying, is take some time to really sit down and find where you place your hope, and what you look for to find contentment in. Don't forget that life is a miraculous thing, and one that all of us takes for granted.
