"I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed you have been concerned, but you say you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything in him who gives me strength."
- Philippians 4:10-13 -
This passage has been giving me joy and making me humble this week. Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christs writes that they find themselves content in the lord. It amazes me how they can say so boldly that although, they know what it feels like to be hungry and live in want, they rejoice in the Lord no matter what circumstance they're in. This reminds me that God is satisfying and he is all I need. My favorite part of this passage is the last verse where it says, "I can do everything in him who gives me strength." Man, that just gives me like a power up. I just want to keep reminding myself that God holds the UNIVERSE and EVERYONE ON EARTH in the palm of his hands. How can he not be the one thing that I trust and be content in? I hope all of you can find satisfaction in God. I'm praying that you guys do.
Besides that, I'll talk about my day. Well I got many complements as well as many negative complements about my buzz cut. But whatever. I buzzed it again today. It got shorter. UB came over after school. We didn't do much.
