Contentment… it’s a word that became my friend when I was in high school… contentment… to be in the middle of it all – neither overly happy nor overly sad.
The thing is that I stuck in that contentment and I was satisfied with being just content. I was satisfied with the way things were. Now in and of itself it’s not a bad thing… but I wasn’t truly Happy. I was floating in the middle somewhere. I thought that was all that there was…
I may not be running around the world, holding orphans, cooking with widows, or praying with men to come into the kingdom of God… but I am Happy! I am who I am, and I am not only happy with who I am but I Love who I am! I know that I will not stay in Georgia forever, but I am in no hurry to leave. Why? – because for the first time in a long time I am happy on a daily basis… I enjoy and love all of life. This is the way it’s supposed to be! So I hope that you never have to see me sitting in that place of contentment again, because I deserve so much more : )
Wow Casey! That was beautifully said! Contentment is a big step in maturing…I love to see it! You’re the best!

The Lord has blessed you in abundance, Praise Him!
You’re happy face is so beautiful, it should never be hidden! No compromise!
Love you so much!
Who knew you would find your happiness in the south, eh?
Casey – woooohoooo!!! This is God’s desire for your life. Now that you’ve reached this place of happiness, joy, a new and better kind of contentment in just “being who you are”, you’ll be able to understand how others (me) find joy in the small things. Welcome to my world! May you continue to find happiness every day.
