Have you ever just needed a change? I mean REALLY needed a change? That's how I've been feeling lately. I'm so antsy, just staying in one place for so long. And that's not just concerning my location. I've been at school now for almost two months, so not really that long. But I certainly feel like I have been here longer. I feel as though I'm stuck and can't seem to find a way to move.
I complain about my job, but what's truly wrong with it? I should feel lucky, I mean I'm a college student with a job within walking distance of where I live. I don't have to pay the majority of taxes due to the work-study nature. And I work in an open environment with people that I genuinely care for. And to top it all off, I'm good at the job. So why is it that I find myself constantly complaining and dreading when it comes time to go to work?
I have a problem with being content where I am. I love my friends, but I have good ones elsewhere that I want to be with. I love my family, but I have family in a different state that I want to see too. I love the view, but I have a view somewhere else that's a different kind of pretty. I like my classes, but I wish I was working on my career. I'm enjoying being single, but I wish I had someone to love. This could go on and on and on, but I'll stop here.
I think my point's been made. I need to focus on one thing at a time and allow God to work through the situation I'm in now. Otherwise, I do things that randomly dye my hair purple and chop off the a-line.
Proverbs 19:23 "The fear of the LORD leads to life: then one rests content, untouched by trouble."
Philippians 4:11 "Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content."
