My contentment is hinged not on my circumstances, how much money I make, if I have a boyfriend, if all my friends adore me, and or if Im doing well in school and etc. If I allowed these things to bring me my contentment, I constantly would find myself not truly happy because these things are temporal and prone to fail me. These things bring me happiness something that can be washed away in the next tide, but I find my happiness in Christ and that leads to contentment. Christ is NEVER going to fail me or leave me.
Sometimes I lose focus and try to find my contenment in the temporal things and wonder why I am unhappy. Then I realize, ohhhh yeahh I have something so much better to spend my time loving and trying to be like. The amazing thing is too is everytime I come back from losing my way, my Father opens up His arms and takes me back...EVERYTIME! : )

So true, the God we serve is amazing. And every time we sin, we welcomes us back!
This is very true! Kind of along the same lines - whenever I am bored I sometimes have to stop and think - why not just read the Bible, or pray? Boredom is something that we ourselves create, not something that happens every so often during the week: it's a choice...and only by keeping close to God can we be content and not find ourselves choosing to be "bored".
I saw your comment on my blog, and thought that I would check out yours. To answer your question (what movies soundtracks do I like best) I would have to say that rather than a specific soundtrack I would have to say that I have a favorite soundtrack composer, and that would be Hans Zimmer (he does movies like the new batman movies, King Arthur, Last Samurai, Gladiator...and obviously a ton more, alot of which I don't know)
