Fighting For Settledness




I have been sharing about the deep form of contentment that I like to call “Settledness”, and about how  I used to be anything but settled. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Settledness has not been something I’ve just “grown into” but rather something I’ve had to fight for. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

I’ve had to actively wage war to get to this place, but the battle was beyond worth it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

In a coming post, I’ll be sharing some practical ways I’ve fought this battle, but because settledness is a fight lacing together my mental and spiritual and emotional health, here are some lessons I’ve had to learn along the way. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

1️⃣ Triggered Isn’t the Same Thing as Angry or Inconvenienced ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣




2️⃣ Contentment Isn’t an Emotional High ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣






3️⃣ Awareness Can Result in Self-Absorption & a Lack of Grace⁣⁣

⁣⁣






Stay tuned for a few more lessons I’ve learned and then some practical ways I’ve waged this war. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

And, no matter where you’re at in this battle… ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Keep fighting the good fight. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

I can promise you, without hesitation, not only that it’s worth it but also that nothing is wasted. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

God makes something out of your courage and faithfulness and willingness that is far greater than the sum of its imperfect parts. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Let my life, and the settledness I am dwelling within serve as proof that beauty really, truly does come from ashes and that His grace really, truly is sufficient. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Don’t give up. ♥️
