Just a ok day. Went out to eat last night with some friends. It was nice we ate out on the porch to enjoy this nice weather we are having. My friend turned 40 yesterday. And I will turn 40 in two weeks. Not looking forward to it. I am not content with my life right now. And I just don't know what to do to get out of this feeling. God is so faithful, for my preschool class the lesson right now is contentment. As I read the scriptures last night and how Paul was so content with GOD"S Grace. I so long and pray that I too will be content with HIS GRACE. The Lord supplies me with so many things. I really have all that I need. Then why am I not satisfied?
I am going on a ladies retreat this weekend. I sure be so excited. But to tell you the truth I don't want to go. But I know it is something I must do I must be renewed and refreshed.

I understand. As Christians, we feel almost guilty that we can\'t get over our pain and get on with life. I just don\'t think it\'s quite that easy. Whilst God gives us glimpses of joy and hope through our pain, there\'s no instant, easy way out of this. So, don\'t be too hard on yourself. Enjoy the simple little pleasures as far as you can (like the time with your friends last night) and allow yourself to heal slowly and completely, in time.
Often the outings that we feel like the least, really surprise us the most. I KNOW you\'re going to benefit from this retreat. Go and let God renew your strength and put a new song in your heart, my friend.
I suggest you just go on your retreat and relax. Open up to anything the Lord has for you. Let go and let God!!!!! I pray you have a blessed.renewed weekend.
