I'm reading a book called "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow. I'm five chapters in and already I have learned more about myself than I ever thought I could from a book. The book is about learning to be content, and even though I thought it was impossible, I'm realizing that I can become content, that I can be thankful for the here and now, the circumstances I live in, whether good or bad, I will be content.
I may not be completely thrilled at my current situation, but somehow, I'm thankful. God knows that I am not only strong enough to handle this, but that I need these specific circumstances to fulfill some sort of purpose. I'm learning a lot from these circumstances whether I like them or not.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Right? I've also heard, "when life gives you lemons, throw them at someone" but that doesn't seem quite as insightful. Well, I've got loads of lemons just waiting to become lemonade. So here I go, turning my less desirable circumstances into opportunities for growth. Wow I sound like a dork. Anyways, let the juicing begin!
