This week we are discussing how to thrive regardless of where you are in your life journey. You don't always get to pick where you are and yet it's important that you show up.
Engage with life. Get involved with your community and in relationships and at a church. Don't just hole up in your dorm room or apartment with Netflix as your friend. Develop as a single person or as a married without kids even if you are anticipating a change in that status. Make the effort to get involved with other friends/personal interests if you're home with small children. Social media is great but don't rely on that; develop relationships with real people. Pursue contentment. Recognize God is sovereign. Contentment is not a state of being; you're not going to arrive. Honor God where you are. Make the choice to thrive. Act how you want to feel. Speak truth to yourself; don't listen to yourself. You serve God because He loves you, not because you are expecting something from Him. Put down roots to be ready for a transplant. Embrace your place.
