Blessing and contentment

I realized today just how blessed I am. I have a loving God who wants me to love him. Friends who care about me and share intimately with me. Sisters and parents who invest and sacrifice for me. A church family who  commune with me and worship God with me. I could go on and on relaying the different ways God has blessed me and yet I am still not content. 
There is one thing that my heart longs for more than anything else. I experience the love of a man. One who chose me above all the rest who desires me and cherishes me. 
Yet today in chapel the speaker challenged me to really think about whether I am following God with my heart not just in actions. This is hard because I feel like I have to give up my dream to be able to follow him with my whole heart and give him everything. Still I know that this is what I am commanded to do. To trust God with my future and follow him in the meantime. 
So I challenge you to come along with me and start living in awareness of God and what he wants in your life. I am hoing to focus on the blessings I already have before being unsatisfied with what God has given me.
