On the filled life, part 1

'Filled' could mean 'fulfilled', like abundant contentment, or it could just mean 'really busy'. For me it is both/and some days, and many days I should feel 'fulfilled' and all I do is feel tired from the 'really busy-ness'. Either way, life is full. Thankful days, complaining days, sad days ripe with real tragedy, happy days of real joy. We are taking it all in, and really, really, really, learning to LEAN in to our amazing God, who forgives the grumbles and still aims to make us complete in Him. 'The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it' (1 Thess 5:24)!
