Being content with God's will
I sit at the computer knowing I should post, but nothing... There is so many thoughts swirling around in my head and I don't really know how to put them into words. I guess I will try!
God has been doing some awesome work in me lately. Its what I need although at times it's quite painful. God has given me numerous opportunities to share with the teens at our church and I am starting to see alot of growth. I am so busy with them, always giving and giving. Because of that my job was starting to suffer. I have been putting all my passion and effort into the youth that I didn't seem to have anything left when it came to the kids I nanny for. I've been feeling like this for a while, but last week it hit me hard. I am not content anymore. Or maybe its more than that? I feel as if my walk with Christ suffers because I live with unbelievers. It's not like they are bad people or anything like that, it's just that God is never spoken of unless used as a sware word. There is other issues like not having my own space or quiet area to call my own, not having my own car, living someone elses life.
Anyways... I don't mean to complain and I really would like to work with these people. Ultimately I would like to see them saved, but I wonder if I or we have just become too close?? If we all need a little space??
I know that I need to pray about this more and I need all the prayer that I can get from you too. I don't know if this is from satan. Is he trying to discourage me, take away my peace?? Or is God trying to tell me that there is something more that He wants me to do??? I know that my heart is here in Rockland as far as my church family goes. I just don't know if this is where I am suppose to be working. I know that God's timing is not mine and I need to trust Him. I also need to remember that God's will is what I would choose for my life if I knew what He knows!!!
Its funny, I think I have nothing to say and then once I start writing I write a novel!!!
Anyways... thanks for your prayers.

I know how you feel, Beck. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the Lord's leading and our own discontentment. When I considered quitting teaching, it was SO difficult because I had a really selfish, discontented spirit AND God was leading me out of it. I gave my job daily to Him and prayed, "Change my heart and give me a passion for this, or make your will clear." And He did. I'll pray for you, Becky! It's so difficult to be a grownup sometimes, huh?!! :) (You could always move to lower MI!)
