Honestly, I don't know what my problem is. I am rarely content. I think in almost every circumstance I could find something else that could be tweeked and then made "perfect." I seriously don't know what my problem is. My thing right now is absolute dissatisfaction with my house. I'm sick of it and I want to move. No particular reason. I just think that somewhere else would be better.
I sometimes wonder what is it about my past that makes me so critical. And if it's just part of my personality, how annoying that God used those ingredients in my recipe!

I think I relate....I also have a critical spirit and am constantly searching out how things in my life could be better if only they were different. How do we get to the point where we are content no matter what the circumstances...being in need or having plenty? I have been feeling decidedly discontented as well...for me...it is the weather! Too hot for me. Miss you...
i think that discontentment is the american way-- aren't we always to aim for the american dream?
discontentment is something that i have thought a lot about since moving back to green bay. often i think i am anticipating the next best thing, when really i should just be content with how things are now. the passage from mark on sunday seemed to touch on this idea too- the jewish leader needed to be content that Jesus knew what he was doing.
or maybe you just need a new house. :)
Well, frankly, I like that you have a high standard of excellence. Try this on for size, are you truly happy with yourself? Do you love and adore who you are? Sometimes to break a crappy aspect of our natural filters, digging into the supernatural for a fresh take is delicious!
I notice sometimes that disdain or criticalness is often a deflection from self. You know, the ol it's easier to focus on someine else's crappo than our own. Keeps us busy. Whole lot less painful too. What do you think?
Ouch Bethany... who let you into my heart?? UGH! You are so dead on!
