Contentment

The truth is that if God wanted us to have more right now, we would have it. . . . If we were supposed to be in a different situation in life, we would be in it. Instead of always saying, "If only this" and "If only that," God calls us to glorify him to the fullest right now. . . . Contentment means wanting what God wants for us rather than what we want for us. The secret to enjoying this kind of contentment is to be so satisfied with God that we are able to accept whatever he has or has not provided." -Phil Ryken

Great Day

I had the great privilege today of helping debrief two of our missionaries. Just to sit and listen to where they have been, the ups, downs, exciting and challenging is just awesome. There are some great caliber people out there serving God and it is a privilege to serve them.

Last week I helped with another couple. It is exciting to hear how they are being used. I now have three countries I want to go visit and I am sure there will be more as I am able to see and hear their stories.
