I had a great conversation with a friend yesterday. It involved locking in on the things we can control and choosing to enjoy life, even with all of its intricacies. The last 4 years of my life have been painful. Painful. But two things can be true. The last 4 years have also been filled with joy, peace, focus, and revelation.
The quicker we learn how to navigate the tensions of life …light and heavy moments, joyful and sorrowful days, gain and loss, sunshine and rain, routine and curve balls, satisfaction and disappointment …the quicker we learn how to enjoy the life God has given us.
The Apostle Paul said it best:
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be CONTENT.
I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. — Philippians 4:11-13
