Learning to be okay..

There are times that I read words that I just cant shake; such as the passage below which is an excerpt from Paul's letter to the Philippians: 

"How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ,[a] who gives me strength."

I still don't really know how to be okay regardless.
Whether people "get" me or not
Whether I excel  or not
Whether I have what I want or not
Whether I am here or not

Here refers to more than just Australia(geographical location) to include where I am at within myself, where I feel like I fit (or don't) within the society, where I am in my journey of life with reference to where I want to be...

Paul says he learnt "the secret" of living in every situation. It seems he learnt it so much that even though change was welcome, he was okay without it. Eh!!!! How do I be like that????

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I am learning that that involves some of the stuff that Paul speaks about earlier in the chapter: 

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

I am still learning. 

Speaking of learning.. there is this song! Do have a listen when you can. Not sure if these pretty girls still find time to sing together...But they are damn good!

Have a lovely end of week.
