The Contentment Challenge: Recap

contentment-challenge-jan

I’ve struggled writing this post today.

I think that, honestly, ending the contentment challenge while experiencing Making Things Happen COMPLETELY rocked my world. My poor little heart didn’t know what to think!!!

I learned SO MUCH about myself the last 3 months. I learned about the idols in my life, the ugly, gross things I keep close & don’t want to let go. I learned about WHY the contentment challenge was important to me and why I felt called to do it.

And I learned to always keep going even when you fail.

I think that’s what hit me the most.

It’s not about rules. It was never, ever just about rules.

It was about a life change. A mind and heart change. An experience that I think every person would benefit from.contentment-challenge-feb

At MTH, one of the reoccurring phrases was Purpose Over Perfection. Friends that hit home with me so, so much. I plan to talk more about MTH tomorrow, but that phrase resonated SO WELL with the contentment challenge.

If you look at my blog posts about this challenge (all the links are below), you’ll notice that in the month of March there was only one post outside of the monthly goals post. Why? Because I was tired. I was exhausted, y’all. I felt like I was balancing so much & just failing at ALL of it. So I just didn’t know how to tell or what to say about it … and then I went to MTH and heard: Purpose over perfection and I cried tears of heartache because I’d been trying to live my life so perfect, I forgot about my PURPOSE in it.

I did not do it perfectly. In fact, there were multiple times I failed either by buying that drink or that cute-whatever-I-didn’t-need, or mentally failing by relying on myself over Jesus. But it’s not about how “good” I was… it was never, ever about that. It’s about the PURPOSE of it. WHY was I doing it? Why should I keep doing it? What do I want to learn? How do I hope to grow? Purpose OVER Perfection.

So that’s what I’m doing. I’m going to continue my contentment challenge journey. I’m not quite ready to stop because I think my stubborn heart still has a lot to learn. I’m going to keep going, and I’m not going to give myself an “ending” date yet. Maybe it’ll be 3 more months, maybe 1 more month. I don’t know yet.

It’s rocked my world so much I’m sure I’ll mention it on the blog, probably for the rest of my life!! However, I don’t plan to have anymore weekly posts about the challenge. If you’re looking for them, you find my 3 month journey links below:
