I need to tweak my attitude a little bit! I was convicted tonight over the fact that lately I've been living in the 'what-ifs,' 'maybes,' and 'somedays.'
When did I lose my contentment in where God has me now? When did I stop enjoying the journey? Savoring the lessons and joys of today?
"Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." ~Psalm 37:4
How can I delight in Him if I'm too busy looking ahead of what's in front of me, trying to carve out my own future? Trusting God means believing the He holds my future, whatever that may be, and knowing that what transpires then will be the best for me.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." ~Ephesians 3:20-21
I continue to spend my time dreaming up a future that is as finite as my human mind...that's lame.
Jesus, it's all You. And right now, I'm going to place my hope in Your promises and trust that no matter what comes, it will be for Your glory alone.

That's a hard lesson to learn, but oh what a wonderful one! When it finally sunk in that my 'dreaming' was causing my discontentment I was so saddened. I had brought it all on myself! As single women in the church, we tend a lot to thing of 'when I get married some day' or 'who does God have for me' or 'this is my calling, so this is what I'll do' and so on. We forget that we are single for a reason. We work at the jobs we have for a reason. We are in all of life's conditions right now because God has ordained it. For us to wish for anything else than His best for us right now is selfish. Thanks for the reminder!
