some simplicity

I wonder what it would look like to live a life that was entirely held captive by who Jesus is. I wonder what that reality would look like. I know some days I am far from it. And some days he feels so close that it's a wonder I can breathe, it's a wonder it doesn't catch in my chest because of the overwhelming wonder.

I seem to always think I can be content with very little....
But we don't get to choose the situation that we are to be content in. It is given to us, and we are to be content within that situation. We are to trust in that situation. Not another. I really don't have any idea what all this is about sometimes, and my head can get severely jumbled trying to 'figure it all out' , whatever that means (it seems to accomplish very little).
I know I am always re-learning that God is good.
He really is.
And that He is the only thing to be content in.
