you can't always get what you want...without a little patience

I think I'm the type of person who always wants what I can't have.
I don't do it on purpose though (I don't think)
Always, I manage to subconsciously but noticeably wish I had things out of my control, reach, and hands.
I have learned that this is not a good quality to have.
When I'm single, I want a boyfriend.
When someone is interested in me, I don't want to date.
When I live in Charleston, I want to be home.
When I'm living at home, I want to be back at school.
I've been stuck in the south my whole life, I want to get out and explore the world.
I'm sure something will not be up to my expectations once I get to travel.
When I'm bored, I wish I was hanging out with all my friends.
After a while of being around everyone, I just want alone time.
The list goes on and on.
It leaves me frustrated, empty and disappointed inside.
I think the Lord has been working on me lately, concerning this characteristic in particular.
He is (lovingly) grabbing my shoulders, looking at me in the eye and seriously saying "be content! trust me! I have you right where I want you! be patient! just wait until you learn what I'm trying to teach you in this season of your life!"
So I'm trying not to complain.  Out loud.
My friends have heard enough about my wish list in life.
I'm trying my best to stay silent, think about it, and realize where the Lord has me is for my benefit.
He has my whole life planned out for me, I do not need to worry.
As for the things I don't have yet that I would love in the future, God puts desires in our heart for a reason.
If it would show him glory and not cause me to sin to give me the things that I want in my heart, he is going to do that.
He is a provider.  THE Provider.
He's got me in mind and would never forget even the smallest detail.
I love the God I serve.
