So here I am..... moved in at Auburn, starting nursing orientation, back with my friends and all around comfortable. What seems like should be the happiest time of my life is somehow falling short of just that. My heart is empty and hurting. It is hurting for my babies back in Kenya, for the people I spent all summer with, and most important for the simple life that I left behind.

What does it mean to be content in the here and now? What does it mean to be satisfyed with life as you know it? If it were my choice I would be back in Africa, back to the simply way of life where no one cared about the things you had....... but I AM NOT! I am in Auburn Alabama living the life of an american girl and enjoying college. This is where I am and this is where the Lord has called me to be right now. So how do I become content with where the Lord has me right now?
1 Timothy 6:6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
So even though I am wishing I was in Africa, God has me in school for a reason. He has had my life planned out before I was even born and although he may not reveal the plan he has set out for me.........I know it is going to be good!
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Psalm 63:3
