True happiness has really been on my mind lately. I was thinking the other day about a time in our life when we had some money problems and how it seemed like if we had money and we were spending money we were happy but when the money ran out it really upset everything. I feel like we are on the other side of this trial now and have done alot of growing. Don't get me wrong we are not perfect and the want to spend can creep in every so often but with the Lords help we can over come. Yesterday the preaching really made me think. What makes me happy? Is it my worldly possessions? My House? My Car? My Clothes? Money? I really hope that these things do not define me. I know that I have a lot of work to do in this area. Sometimes I find myself wanting more or wishing things were different when really I should be thankful for what I have. My goal is to learn to be content with what the Lord has given me.
The scripture that was read yesterday was: Philippians 4:6-9. I am thinking of printing verse 8 and hanging it up in a place where I can read it everyday.

Wonderful things to be thinking on. These things have come to my mind a lot lately. I truly want to be content in the place we're at in our lives right now.
