So today started a new topic in LINC (a women's bible study that I belong too). We are studying "Cultivating Contentment" which is something that I feel we all struggle with from time to time......do I give enough of myself to certain areas, can I have what they have, why can't my husband, kids, family act like theirs??? and so on. I am really excited to see how God speaks to me during this study because I was just having a conversation the other day with a dear friend and I said, "Although I am blessed with a husband that provides and is a great help in our marriage and family and all of our daily things are taken care of.....food, bills, house repairs, etc. I sometimes long for what others have, why can't we just be content with what we have?" Luci Swindoll from Women of Faith states that "Learning to be content is an education process, as is all learning...It would start with the acceptance of present reality and hopefully move toward genuine contentment." So, I am excited to start this learning process!
Jimmy and I are also tackling the 3.6.5 Challenge at Pequea Church. A step forward for both of us! What an exciting thing to tackle together and with our church family!! For those of you who are not aware the 3.6.5 Challenge is reading through the bible in one (1) year! We have our Bibles and are ready to read! Pray for us as we begin this task and that we will be able to stay the course and not let busy-ness take over!
Happy New Year!

Hi Chrissy! Thanks for visiting my blog today. How do you know Michelle Howe?! What a small world! You mentioned Pequea Church...I'm not for sure where that is...but sounds like our area! We are in the Pequea Valley School District.
Nice to meet you!
