Blast from the Past

So I started reading through my old blog posts last night- it was like reading a journal, tracking several years of my life and my thought processes throughout. I was impressed with the way it made me stop and think and analyze things, whereas I don't do that so much anymore. I'm going to try to get back into it, even if no one reads these anymore, just because it helps me put my thoughts into words. Hence the name of my blog, I guess.

One of the things I was really struck by was when Bruce and I were newly married and looking forward to moving to a bigger apartment. At the time, I just couldn't wait to get into our new place, and was groaning about all the things about our old little place I didn't like. Well, ironically, in the past few months, I have been waiting (not so patiently, I might add) for our new house to be finished! We are now less than two weeks from closing, and I'm so excited. But, now, here I am so eager to get out of the very apartment I was so excited to get into! I posted then about learning to be content, and it just strikes me that nothing in this life is ever enough. There is always something more to reach for, just around the bend. I think this longing will never be satisfied until we get to heaven. It's the same thing that keeps us looking forward, pushing on to the next phase in life. Until then, I will just have to continue learning patience... my lifelong lesson.
