I don't know about you....but there something about the show "Deal or No Deal". I'm actually not a big fan....but if it's on and I'm doing nothing else, I find myself mesmorized by the contestants. I often fantisize about how I would "play" the game. But the truth is....I really have no idea how I would react if I were on the show. I would like to think I would be content with a modest amount of money....but would I long to have the "secret" amount? I don't know....
Finally! A chapter that I think I already "get"!! YEAH!! I have been on so many sides of this subject..... I've learned to be content in a lot of areas.....and I also long for God's perfect plan for my life. I don't think I fully know what that is yet! I certainly do not want to grow complacent and not yearn for something more....it's not my nature. But on the other hand, I'm so incredibly content with my life.....if nothing changed, I would not be disappointed.
I Corinthians 13:12 "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
One of my favorite verses in the Bible... As a teenager, I used to cling to this verse....not knowing how my life would turn out. Interestingly enough, this verse still has the same "wow" for me. God has blessed my life with a wonderful family, wonderful friends, and filled me with joy....yet, I still do not know fully what He has in store for me. That is the longing of my heart.

Oh I love that game show. Of course I was always the one yelling "Go for what's behind the curtain!". I would always say that I came with nothing so even if nothing better was behind the curtain I didn't really lose anything.
As for me...I have a VERY hard time with this. I think this seems to be the trend with every chapter, for me. I have a hard time with everything! I tend to be content for a period of time and then feel that things need to change. I need a new house, or a new car, or new clothes, or new furniture, shoes...anything! I do love my life, my family, my kids, and my friends it just seems that sometimes I feel the grass is greener on the other side. But the more I "grow", the more I learn that HE has a bigger plan for me.
