Philippians 4:6-7

I am content.
This thought comes after a day in the mountains snowboarding with my sister and my best friend.
Today, we went to Sunshine. Towards the end of the day, we were up at the top of Goats Eye. I happened to look past what was right in front of me as I was riding down the mountain and caught a glimpse of the most beautiful postcard-worthy scene ever. It was only the mountains, but it caught me. I stopped, almost causing a collision between me and my sister, but I just stood there for a minute and looked around. It was nice. I love the mountains, always have. And I didn't think of this at the time, but looking back on it, it was purely a confirmation of how beautiful life is when you are content.
I could go on forever about how great my life seems lately. I don't know if this is a selfish thing to write about, but these are my feelings, and you are the one still reading my blog (whoever you are). But lately, I am purely content. I guess the biggest thing is the fact that I am currently at home for Christmas. I have not lived at home for 11 months. I moved to school last January and I have not been here in Okotoks for more than 5 days in 11 months. I am absolutely engulfed in this love and atmosphere. I pratically live in a zoo, but this is what I needed. I feel as though this three weeks at home is God's way of giving me a well needed vacation, from whatever. But being with my sisters, my brothers and my parents is giving me more joy than the last 11 months combined. I'm a family person, what can I say.
After much prayer and ranting to whoever will listen, I am content with the decisions I have made about school. I am at Ambrose this year, but after a very impulsive and angry day, I applied to Memorial University of Newfoundland. I am at a point where now, the decision about where I go to school next year is completely in God's hands. Of course I would love to go to Newfoundland, but I would hate to leave Calgary. So who knows. God does.
I'm not really wanting to go into much detail about this, or how to even say it, but I am content being me. I have found an overwhelming sense of high self esteem. I guess there's no better way to say it other than I am so content being nobody's anything. I am Katelyn. I don't need a boy, or anyone. I'm living my life and I am happy with myself.
I am content.
