Contentment...

Contentment is not by addition but by subtraction:  seeking to
add a thing will not bring contentment.  Instead, subtracting
from your desires until you are satisfied only with Christ
brings contentment.

      -- Jeremiah Burroughs

Do you struggle with contentment?  I know I sure do...  So with that in mind I am going to stop spending money for the month of September.  The only day I will spend money that is not for bills and necessities will be tomorrow at a local festival that will benefit flood victims.  Other than that I will not be eating out, buying books or other unnecessary items and spending time in prayer and study over contentment with Christ alone and not stuff.  I will also be purging more stuff from my life and giving it away to those who could benefit from it more than me at this time.  With that in mind  I am doing the 30 Days of Nothing Challenge...

 I came across this a little while ago and decided that I would give it a go.  If you are interested please check out the link below...

30 Days of Nothing

I like that you are including prayer and study on contentment. I believe I'll add that (duh!) necessary component too.

Thanks for the idea.

Usually I'm pretty much ok with being content, like most people I have my moments but not too bad...
