This kind of contentment is a gift I’ve received from the best Gift Giver. He knows my heart and my needs. He will keep leading me out of the valley and into new places that are tailor-made for me. And if I can trust Him in little things like contentment, then I will surely trust Him in the bigger things in life. I share this because if it can happen in my life, I believe it can happen for anyone. I get so much out of hearing people’s stories and what they’ve been through. So, I’m determined to tell my own. We all have struggles, it’s what happens in the midst of them that intrigues me. If you’re struggling, just know—you’re my people. 

“God talks to everybody else, but He never talks to me!” It felt like everyone around me was talking about how God spoke to them, and all the exciting experiences He was taking them on. And there I was, out in the cold, only hearing silence in response to my prayers.
