Sometimes
I just like to be alone. And sometimes I just like to think.
Today
was a day for both of those things, as I retreated to my room for the
majority of my night and really pondered what God was doing in my
life.
I had
the opportunity to teach today, and I loved it. It is an amazing
feeling when you have the opportunity to do something that you
believe you were meant to do. With that said, it breaks my heart to
not be able to do this full time.
But,
then again...
I
cherish the time that I have specifically because
I am not teaching full time. God has placed opportunities elsewhere
in my life and has given me a reasonably flexible job in retail to be
able to do other things, and experience life in various ways.
I was
focused for so long on finding that dream teaching job that I think I
forgot to pay attention to the gifts and blessings that God was
giving me. Now that I'm aware, I realize that He is teaching, and
even challenging, me to be content with where I am in His plan for
me.
Contentment
rarely comes easily, especially when we are focused on everything but
God.
He is
teaching me to rest in His presence simply because that is where I
will find true contentment.
But, oh, how it is easier said than done.
In
Christ,
Lilia
