Well, the hubby is traveling.  I pushed the kids out the door to youth and finally have some quiet time to myself.  (insert sounds of happiness here)


I have been putting some thought into my One Word for this year and believe that I may need to focus more on contentment than consistency.  Well, to be honest I need to focus on both.  Yet, it seems that the Lord is speaking to me lately to find contentment in certain things, such as my marriage and my finances.  NOT complacency.  No, the two are very different things.  I do not believe we are ever to be complacent, but I do believe we all need to seek contentment in certain areas of our lives.  In this culture, it is very hard thing to learn to be content.  We are constantly bombarded with things that will supposedly make us healthier, wealthier, skinner, prettier and ultimately happier.   Contentment is hard to find.  Yet this year I will choose to seek it out, search for it, hunger for it and hopefully learn how to live in it.
