Jeremiah 29:11

I had an overwhelming urge to write, which is so rare these days, I just had to give in.

There is a fine line between contentment and settling.

In the past year, I’ve seen people get engaged, get married, move halfway across the globe, land their dream jobs... and I tried to check my heart for bitterness, but there honestly wasn’t. I’d like to believe that I’ve learned to trust in God’s timing and sovereignty, and in the knowledge that His plans for me will always be better than what I have for myself. That He wouldn’t place me where He doesn’t want me. That what is meant for me can never pass me by.

I was watching “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” last night and it made me realize that you don’t have to be great in the wordly sense; you just have to be great in the eyes of people who matter. You just have to be the best person you can be, given the circumstances.

Am I content? Yes. Am I still hoping for God to answer my prayers? Yes. “I can live with someday, as long as I know it’s coming.” I don’t remember who said that line, but it always resonated with me. So here I am, trying to make the most out of the present, and hoping for the best for tomorrow, always pressing forward, always holding on to His promises.
