Goodbye Something Wonderful

As you can see I have changed things up...again.

I still have more to do.

I am still trying to figure out how to customize my text. 

Whenever I add an exclamation point to my current text...it looks like an "L" at the end of the word.

See!

It has been bothering me.

I also want to add links to my pinterest and instagram and so on...but I haven't figured that out yet.

So bear with me...
Does anyone else feel like my blog is just like a scrapbook that I keep changing the pages of?
Because my husband does...

I also changed up the name.

Goodbye Something Wonderful.

When I created this blog a few years ago I literally thought for about 30 seconds and thought "oh...you can find "something wonderful" at all times in all aspects of life" and then just kind of went with it. It seems so juvenile though...so I have been thinking for a little bit about a new name.

Insert cute picture of Reagan for fun :)

His tuft is coming back!!

I wanted to do something clever using our street name.

Matt nixed that idea and said he didn't want me putting that on my blog for the crazies to track us down.

So somehow "the springs" came to mind.

A few days ago in my devotions was the verse:

John 4:13 "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Matt said I should come up with a title that has something to do with contentment.

I kind of agreed. 

I know many people who struggle with being content in their current situation.

Ourselves included.

So I decided to incorporate the two together.

When you aren't content you are always wanting more. 

Things that are bigger and better.

And these things only satisfy for a short time until we need and want even more.

The life-giving water that Jesus talks about in that verse is never-ending and will fill our soul with all it needs.

So that is where the new title comes from.

To remind myself where true contentment comes from.
That I need to live and love and learn right now where we are currently at in life.
The size of our family.
The location of our home.
Matt's schedule...
Because there is SO much happening right now.
Right now does matter because we are making an impact on eternity.
If we are constantly striving for trivial things our "thirst" will never be quenched.
Sometimes when our wants and "needs" don't line up with God's current plan it is hard to understand and be happy, but it is such a comfort to know that God has given us everything we need.
That wherever we are in life He will satisfy and we can display his grace to others.

Oh..and the clever part of the title...because we do currently reside in "the springs"
