Contentment

7/21

This characteristic: peaceful and content.  In my twenties this has not been a word that I have valued much.  It seemed unambious, vague and directionless. 

Although not as im creaping closer to my thirties.  I hound myself with thoughts like, " is there peace there?" And "Do I feel peaceful about this decision?" These thoughts are in high alert for anything that threatens to steal from my peace.  Living alone has allowed me to amplify my inner dialogue.  It's made me very aware of what directly steals from me, adds to me, drains me, unsettles me and annoys me. I am a somewhat "yes mam".  I battle to say "No" and only process things later and realize that hey I don't want to do this or that or better put... I don't feel peaceful with doing that.  

Spending money easily was one thing that unsettled me-Not taking care of what I have and just spending.  I'd end up wondering and feeling anxious if I would make it to the end of the month. But taking control of my finances created more peace.  Being on the streets too long make me feel antsy. 

So it's a continual journey of learning to illuminate the whispers within and of coarse ask God for help. 

May you listen to Gods whispers... 
May you be lead by love... 

Love,
 Phoenix andSarah
