Being content...

You know, I just get so confused about cherishing what I have verses what I want. God has undoubtedly blessed me beyond what I am deserving of (that's a given). However, can you fully appreciate and be content with what you have if you still want something more? This argument could go for just about anything but for me, at this time, it's about a house. I remember when we first moved into this home, we would just lay in bed talking about how cool and unbelievable it was that we actually owned this house. I still feel that way to an extent but I want more room and I think we could do it but... We don't NEED it. So, what is that? Well, in studying Timothy chapter 6 I find that there is still a fine line but, it is pretty clear. Be obedient to God's call, He will provide all things for my enjoyment and He will be faithful to me (a very BAD paraphrase). Anyway what I got was this... I need to think less on more and more on God, He will provide all things and the calling to them. So I wait or learn to wait for his coming call.
