It's amazing what can go down in a month, you know? Because a lot has in this past month. I'm beginning to settle into where I am right now, and with what's going to come. Life is terrifying but beautiful, and I'm going to try my hardest to make all of it worth it. Because living a life that I'm not in love with (even when it's hard) doesn't seem like a good idea. Contentment, on the other hand, does.
That's been something God has been trying to teach me. Contentment and joy, that is. And I've come far. But I have a long way to go. And I think this next year, however challenging it may be, will be very much worth it because of that.
So I suppose you could say that I'm beginning to settle into moving forward. And that is quite fun to think about.

Such a beautiful and profound post. I'm with you--always striving to be content with where God has me, and joyful doing what He's calling me to do.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Anne Marie! :)
DeleteI absolutely love this post <3 "Introverting. A lot." totally describes what I've been doing, too :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah . . . Thanks, Arushee! :)
DeleteI'm glad you have settled. It takes me a while to settle because I'm resistant to change, and I'm quite introverted and I lack motivation to get into the social life. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have to ask, what is your camera? Your photos are astoundingly beautiful!
Thank you, Jo. :) Yeah, I understand. But keep trying! It's worth it. You'll regret not becoming good friends with the people around you. At least . . . I did. :P
DeleteIt's a Canon Rebel XSi. And thank you so much for the compliment! :)

Thank you, Amy! :)
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful pictures! ^.^ We have an abundance of violets and dandelions, and though they're 'weeds' around here, I love them. A sea of purple and yellow is gorgeous and really under-appreciated. I think, as long as your introversion isn't getting in the way of anything else, it's probably okay.... (:
ReplyDeleteGod has his ways of getting us to notice things. :3 Contentment is a hard lesson to learn sometimes, but a good one. I'm glad to hear it's going well!
Thank you, Kiera! :) Yes, I agree. There can never be too many flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes he does. Thank you again, Kiera! :)
Thank you, Samantha! :)
