I went to the Renaissance Festival yesterday with Leah. If you haven't been, it's a big fair about Medieval Times through the Renaissance. Leah loves going. She has even made a handful of costumes to wear and gets compliments on them, even from people who work at the Festival.
There's a post about drifting off into a fantasy world on my other blog (getconfidence.wordpress.com), but the point of this one is different: I just want you to consider what makes you happy. Don't think about things that you believe would make you happy, but just about the things that already do.
Most of the things that you want but don't have are being idealized in your head. They usually don't end up being as good as you expected and are almost invariably different. That's why it's important to focus on what you do have. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be married or wanting that dream job, but don't let your daydreams get in the way of your reality. Focus on your reality and be happy with what you have; only then will you be in the proper mindset to chase after something better because only then will you be satisfied with who you are and where you are in life if you don't get it.
This blog is for both Christians who are seeking to improve their walk with God and for non-Christians who are seeking to know how Christians should walk. There will be no judgment of character on this blog, nor any condemnation. There will be Biblical views on sin, forgiveness, love, worship, etc. My hope is that non-believers reading this will realize that true Christianity is about love and forgiveness, not judgment, and that believers will find encouragement and, by God’s grace, wisdom.
