Frustration

I can't remember a time when I have ever been this discontent.

My job is great.
My family is good.
My new apartment is wonderful.
My friends are the best ones Charlotte has ever given me.
My part time job serving with a catering company at weddings is loads of fun.
My music is coming along better than ever before.
My relationship with God is growing in new ways.

I have no justifiable reason to be unsatisfied.

But I am.


My heart is discontent.


I need change. Serious change. I need to see the things I have been promised come to life.


I am tired of waiting.


I take my complaints to God, I remind Him of His promises.


He says, "Wait".


I find my frustrations holding hands with the truth that God will fulfil His promises.
I keep in the forefront of my mind that He wants the these promises to unfold even more than I do.


Still, I am frustrated. And guess what? God told me it's ok to be frustrated. He would rather me be discontent and ready while in the waiting room then comfortable and passive.
