Contentment Week 1

Today marks a week after I have asked God to help me with contentment while waiting on God.  I had a wonderfully motivated Monday, a less motivated but great Tuesday, a Backtrack Wednesday, a pretty motivated Thursday, and a pretty peaceful Friday.

I discovered a song by Chris Tomlin today which I can't buy on iTunes yet:

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind 

The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The One who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies is always by my side

I also read the book, "Fearless" by Max Lucado this evening, which I have been wanting to read for a long time.  I looked through my Amazon Wishlist, and searched for every book I had on my local library's electronic database.  It wasn't available at my library, but I requested them and I picked them all up.  My next book I will start reading tonight is "Get out of that pit" by Beth Moore.  I wanted to get Breaking Free but that wasn't available at any of the libraries.  I even picked up 5 Christian CD's.  I didn't use to like going to the library to borrow books since I'm germaphobic, but I'm allowing myself to touch the books this time around...

On Wednesday I had a fallback day, and then instead of working out like I did on Thursday, B and I went to eat at a hole in the wall restaurant inside of a Mexican grocery store.  It was delish, and our total came to a little under $20, and I left a $20 in the tip jar, and bought a $.99 avocado.  Then we randomly found a Bloomberry and shared a soft serve covered in goodies.  I decided sometimes you can steal your own joy by being so hard on yourself about not wasting money.  That was my live and let live moment of the week.
