Can we ‘learn’ it?

Contentment is an inner sufficiency – a satisfaction found through the depth of one’s own life with God, independent of his or her surrounds.

I don’t know who wrote the above saying, but I really like it and wanted to share it with you today. I think so many times we are prone to base our contentment, our happiness, our joy, on our circumstances. When we do this we tend to ‘react’ to what comes our way. We sometimes allow the circumstances to have power over us and dictate our thoughts and lives.

When we have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, as Paul states in Phil. 4:12, then I think we look at our circumstances and the issues in our lives through different lenses.

We can move through the difficulties knowing that our God is bigger than all that ‘stuff’ out there. We can be encouraged that there is more, that our God loves and accepts us. We believe His word that tells us that He has plans for us that are independent of what is happening around us. We can walk through the outer cloud of chaos while our heart remains in peace. We can discover true peace and contentment in our hearts.

That is really what choosing to be happy and content is all about.

Who do you want to be?

Okay, this is what I’m talking about =) Yummy hot fudge sundae with a little brownie on the side!

(Would love to have it but decided to wait on actually eating it… so enjoying the picture)

Thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes.

It truly made my day!

As I was looking at the various greetings, there were a number from my friends at Louisiana College, what fun to hear from them… if that is you, thanks again.

Seeing the notes from my college friends reminded me of a special time, an AH HA moment, I had while in college. I was a cheerleader (yea I know, big surprise =) We were all standing around and I heard some girls talking. What I heard changed my life. One of them said “You know that Jackie Holsomback… I’ve never heard her say a bad word about anyone.”

WOW – Right then I decided I wanted people to think that way about me and to make that a priority. Since that day I have made it a point to look for good and say only good about others.

Jackie was indeed a wonderful gal. I don’t know if I ever told her about that incidence, but I hope I did. She is no longer with us, she is singing and ‘cheering’ in heaven now. Jackie made a positive difference to me, her friends, family, and all those around her. What a legacy! (January 18 was also her birthday)

. . .

Who do you want to be? What do you want others to say about you? When they say your name, what characteristic do they think about?

It’s a choice. We can decide today ‘who we want to be”, what kind of person, how we live our life. We can decide to change a pattern by starting a new one… just Decide.

. . .

Isn’t it great to have so many choices?

CHOOSE HAPPY – 2015

CHOOSE HAPPY! YES! We all have a choice!

It may sound strange but you can be happy – joyful – content … No matter what is going on in your life, no matter what has happened, or is happening, and no matter what your fears and inhibitions.

It’s more than a positive attitude, it’s choices we make everyday, our outlook on life, our faith. It’s knowing that there is more, there is hope, and always another option.

You don’t have to just ‘take it’ and accept what happens… God has more for you. He loves you and has great things in store for you.

This year out theme is –

Discover You

The other day I had breakfast with a friend she shared with me about a really hard time she had been having. You see this wonderful lady who I see as beautiful, talented, and soooo smart, doesn’t see herself that way. She recently had a time of crying out to the Lord asking and begging Him to show her gifts, her talents. She told me that she really believed that He had overlooked her, that God just did not give her even one gift.

It took a lot of courage for her to share that with me and I so applaud her bravery. Sometimes we just have to reach out. She reached out and talked to her sister who gave her some wonderful input. As she kept asking God ‘Why?’ He began to show her through other people that, indeed, He had given her gifts, that she does have talent, and He is affirming her of these gifts. Hallelujah!

.

You too, my dear friends, have gifts and talents and even if YOU can’t see them, ask God to show you. Talk to a special friend, your sister, someone who loves you and knows you well. They can tell you the good things they see in you. Not everyone is going to have a ‘big’ personality, not everyone is singer, painter, artist, etc. There are so many other gifts. Seek the Lord and He will show you. He didn’t leave anyone out, not even you.

.

Trust, Believe, and He will show you. This could be your day, week, and your year to discover You!

COMING SOON!

NEW song Previewed in Las Vegas

Discovery

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Are you all about resolutions and trying new things? Have you looked at last year and decided changes to make? Well, that is NOT what I want to share with you today. WHEW! Aren’t you glad? No lists, no things to do.

.

Many of you know that the last two years for me have been about ‘Releasing’. Yes, releasing ‘stuff’, control, my thoughts releasing areas in my schedule, releasing THINGS. There’ve been places in my heart and mind that God has worked on me to release to a new way of thinking and living.

.

Now this year, I feel like this is going to be a year of Discovery. I can already feel God beginning to show me new things about myself. I have a big new project… ummmm am I ready to let the news out???? This blog has been a part of it as well as the speaking opportunities that I have had this year. I might wait a little longer to tell you, but let me just say, it is a new thing I have ‘Discovered’ about myself and about God.

If you were to put a name on a theme for your New year… what would it be? So funny, as I shared with my sister about 2015 being my year of Discovery, she said her’s a year of ‘Restoration’.

.

What is yours? What do you feel God is telling you?

Adventure
Discovery
Recovery
Releasing
Restoration
Rejuvenate
Rest

(Gosh a lot of these words are “R”… I’ll have to think on that.)

This isn’t about Resolutions or a list of ‘To Dos’ or ‘Don’t Dos’. It’s about direction. Where do you see God leading you?

.

This year I’ll look forward to seeing what God will help us ‘Discover’ about each other.
