On My Struggle with Being Content

This blog is a place where I want to be real and more open,
which involves sharing my struggles.
Some of them are bigger than others.
The one, I have on my heart right now, may seem small to some,
but what it can do in one's life, is big.

Its about being content. Or, actually it's more about, being discontent.
Last night as I was catching up on the Bible study I'm doing as part of She Reads Truth,
I read about being content. 
It was one of those moments where I was reading the word of God
and I KNEW that He was speaking to me. 
Those moments are hard, but good.
I knew he was saying "Kassie, be content, you have no reason not to be."

He's right. I have no reason to be discontent. 

There will probably always be things I want and things I think I need. 

That doesn't mean that I will always get those things 

and it definitely doesn't mean I can't be content while waiting! 

That's huge for me to realize! Sometimes I have to wait on things and be content with that. 

I don't want to get stuck on the list of things I want because then it's easy to be ungrateful.

That is not the type of person I want to be!
I want to be content. I want to be grateful. 

So, I'm going to work on that because really, I do have so much to be thankful for! 

I have a roof over my head.

There's plenty of food on my plate and clothes on my back.

I have a wonderful husband and son!

Our little girl is growing well and will be here soon!

I know a God who is good in all He does.

That is what I am grateful for today and I will rest in the contentment of those things!

Do you struggle with contentment?

How do you redirect your discontentment to contentment? 

Please tell me! Ideas are always nice! =)
