contentment...

Genesis 2: 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. 23 “At last!” the man exclaimed.“This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” 24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. 25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.

eve had it all.. she had everything that every woman longs for... and she was happy... until...
the enemy came in and led her to believe that there was something more.. something better.. and it was all a lie to begin with.. she already had God's best for her life.. and she allowed the enemy to get her to doubt her blessings.. doubt herself and ultimately doubt God's goodness...

I no longer want to be eve.. always looking for something more.. I am determined to be content where I am.. no.. better than that.. I will be happy... I see the goodness of the Lord and I am thankful and I am happy!!
