another time, another place

Post to Twitter

Do you ever wish you were in another time or another place? Do you ever wonder we never seem content where we are? Well, maybe you are a lot different then me, but it seems like I am always looking forward to the next thing instead of enjoying the moment. First, I was excited about college, now I want to be working and married, who knows what will be next. 🙂 ok..so maybe it’s not quite that bad. I must admit I love college! I love meeting new people, I love staying up till 3 in the morning and no one caring, I love studying my brains out for a class that most people fail, (well, ok I don’t love that:) ) and I love being on my own. But sometimes, I still struggle with being content. I wonder why God wanted me to come four hours from home all alone. I wonder why the one person I would love to spend every day with is a plane ride away. I wonder why I seem to have no problem finding someone who would drink me, but when I try to find someone to study the Bible with I am instantly alone. And then I realize something. I am blessed beyond reason, I have been given everything I need, I am exactly where God wants me-and whether it is hard or easy, it is best! I am exactly in the middle of God’s plan for my life and that is the best and only place to be. I would be miserable anywhere else. So for the time being, I am going to work on being content here and now and let God deal with the rest of my life. Who knows what will happen, but I can’t wait for the adventure!

    You may be looking forward to the next thing now, but before long you'll be looking back wondering what happened to the time. Just enjoy what you're doing now as you prepare for your future!

    hey amanda,
    God has been teaching me the same types of things…i keep wondering why in the world i'm here away from friends and seemingly extremely lonely. but suddenly it's all going to work out the way it's supposed to, and you'll see the bigger picture. God is so great that way. just keep pressing on…i know you, and i know you can do that. i miss talking to you, girl…we never talk anymore, and when i saw you a few weeks ago, we hardly said 3 words to each other. let me know what's going on…i miss you and i'm praying for you!
    love you,
    brittany
