i complain that i am unhappy, and i am not justified in doing so.
i shouldn't complain. I have a great life, without many trials or losses.
I have friends and family in abundance, and they love me. I have the privilege of living in a wonderfully large house with some of the people I adore the most. I attend a Christian University, and although it is expensive I can afford it. I have good health despite a yearly cough that comes back. I have had the opportunity to see many different places around the world and will continue to do so. I have passion. I have talents. I have the promise of life after death. I am sinless in the eyes of God.
So WHY do I long for the little things I don't have?
If God has provided this much, he will surely continue to provide in HIS time.
I feel like I remind myself this once a month, at least...and I'm getting VERY tired of myself, sick of having to say it over and over. Sick of taking all the above things for granted. I make myself sick.
Why can't I be content?
I belong where palm trees grow <3

IT's hard for us to be content b/c of our sinful nature we are greedy and we always want more, we can never be satisfied.. i don't know if we ever will, we sould be satisfied just being children of God but were not, and its sad but i think the only way that we are going to be truly content is when we do or if we ever do find true peace with ourselves, with life, with God...
