Being content with what you have is probably the hardest thing in life. The expression the grass is greener on the other side is truer as life goes on. We are so busy trying to obtain the "other side" that we forget to enjoy life as it is now. I have a great man in my life and unfortunately I am so focused on what our relationship could be instead of what we have now. If I'm completely honest with myself then we have a great relationship and have great memories now, but I focus on the future and then I get disappointed if things aren't moving at the pace that I want. The question is why am I in such a hurry? I tend to be an impatient person so I really feel like God is testing my patience and I'm failing miserably. In a world that gets answers in a millisecond of course I want my personal life to have answers just as quick.
Learning to be content with what I have is what I've struggled with my entire life.

Alecia - I just saw that you have a blog! I have felt the same way about our not having a baby yet. Contentment is not always an easy thing, no matter what stage of life we're in. But, the encouraging thing is that we can know that God does have a plan for us - and it's a good plan. Jeremiah 29:11. That's what God brings to my mind when I'm feeling this way. Maybe that verse will be some encouragement to you too.
