Road Trip

I really, really, really want to go on a road trip this summer. Just thought I'd put that out there. For the time being, however, I will have to content myself with a road trip to Grand Forks! I'm heading down there tomorrow for a concert with some friends which will be a lot of fun. I have to work all day tomorrow and then I'm being picked up at work; tomorrow is going to be a long day, but it should be good.

I mentioned having to content myself for the time being... I've been doing a lot of thinking on contentment lately. I have a few questions about it. 1) Is it possible to be content while still desiring something either 'more' or 'different' in your life? For example; I desire a better job and am taking steps to get one, does that make me discontent? 2) Should I, as a Christian, be content while I know that there are people who are in need of Jesus? That question simply makes me feel that I should always have a sense of discontent in my heart, that I should constantly have a longing, a desire, for something more, something better, for those around me because I know that I am promised something more and something FAR greater then what I have here on earth. 3) Should I, as a Christian, be content with this life knowing full well what awaits me in heaven? Like I said, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm trying to figure out if I'm content or not... or perhaps I'm complacent, and if that's the case then I will be very discontent about it! Complacency makes me shiver in a bad way! I may write more on contentment in the future as I think on it yet. Let me know your thoughts on contentment, I'd really like to hear what you have to say.
