We listened to a sermon -by Jim Berg- on contentment tonight at church. I am convicted quite often of my need for contentment. I have really been praying that whenever we do decide to try for another baby that I will accept God's will for our lives whether that includes adding another child to our family or not. I now see that I don't just want to accept God's will, but to be happy and contented with what he thinks is best. As he says in his lesson- grumbling, complaining, anger can all be attributed to our discontent with our lives and therefore with God and his will. Wow. Makes me truly want to keep a watch on my attitude. I honestly desire to be like Paul and to be content in whatever place I'm at in my life. I know it's not an easy task though. This sermon is only about 20 minutes, but I think it will encourage you if you have time to listen to it. You can find it at:

Jim Berg also has a book, which someone recently recommended to me called "God is more than enough" which I think I may try to get and read once I finish "Biblical Womanhood In The Home"

Great message!
If the God of Heaven isnt enough to satisfy me nothing will...Discontentment is rooted in disbelief...I need a sweet,quiet,content heart...Im not ruined by my circumstances but my own lust for "something more"
Thanks for posting it,it was just what I needed to hear
