contentment

so its been about a week since i last posted...mainly because i don't get wireless at my house- only dial up and its annoying to deal with....however i am at the beach and i brought my computer hoping that i could get connection and wawla i do. its not real reliable though..but we'll see.

God really did answer prayer this week though.

My sister and I have been trying to get in the same quad for next year and it just was not working out. the housing office wasn't working with us- i tried to get in the room i wanted and that failed and so i finally just became content with the room i was in and just kept praying that something might happen. as i was watching tv eating my Special K cereal friday morning the phone rings--it's from housing saying they switched me into the room i wanted, in my sisters quad. i was soooo excited and could not believe what i was hearing!

it was when i was content of my circumstances when God showed up and did His thing.

It always seems that way when you talk to people about what God does in their lives, they become content and then something happens. especially in relationships it seems. you hear, "i became content in my singleness and in Christ and then it was like whoa there he was and it all worked out" haha i have tried being content with that area and when i think i have gotten there- then God tests it and i do not pass.

but there is something different right now- i am content with where i am in Him---however knowing i need to grow so much and learn so much and only move forward- but i am content in knowing i need to move forward with Him and not take any detours. i know there is so much that i need to figure out with God and that i need to work on myself before i even step into a relationship and God has protected me from that knowing i was not ready. every day i need to find more contentment in who i am in Him and then maybe...who knows...that "special someone" will be content at the same moment. haha we'll see if i pass next time. but i really feel that God has a hold of my life saying- don't waste any more time-- this is YOUR time.


"Godliness with contentment is great gain" 2 Timothy 6:6


don't waste anymore of the time God has given you being discontent with who you are. He has such big plans for you- and He is waiting on you to become content with who you are in Him before He can work even more in your life. Don't miss out!!

.it's your time.
