Satisfied

As I heard a new song today, I pondered the question of why are we not content. Why do we so often wonder what else is out there, what else there is to see. I am one that is quick to be off to my next adventure, see the world and learn as I go. I love people, who they are and where they have been makes them all the more unique to me, different than the previous person I have met. I long at times, to be able to relate to all people, see their views and hear their hearts as I listen to their words. So often I find myself tangled in their life before I even know what has happened, hoping for them, listening to their stories and hearing there heart. People intrigue me. We are all oh so different yet completely the same in humanity…. This world is wide open, with so many people to meet and learn from, teach and inspire. I am constantly ready to see what else is out there, and see what else is happening. As I listened to the song today, I felt the words speaking to me.

The beginning of the song says “If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for here” Wow. How often do we have desires and wants, goals and dreams that seem at times are never quite enough. As I wondered today why we are not content, why we are searching and wanting, hoping for things that are not so, I thought about what that means. I found comfort in the words, “I was not made for here”. I feel that on this earth I am most comfortable and happy being free and a wanderer, see the world and meeting amazing people along my journey. I long to see it all, have amazing conversations with equally amazing people, and see beautiful scenery that takes my breath away…. But I am also finding this… What I will do in this world, inspire people, meet them and learn from them, see all there is to see… that in its self will never be enough. As the words said "I am not made for here alone"... I know what I need for myself is to look up. The song says “Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?” I think we all have a soul that sings and loves, longs to be filled…I have realized that the soul is what is making the scenery beautiful and the conversations amazing.

The song says “Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it and I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you”… Our God is here to be our filler, here to help us catch our breaths. As I venture into the next days and months, which for me is completely open and I never seem to know what to expect, I have peace knowing that I can take a minute to catch my breath. I can be at peace knowing that I can feel content with my adventures I take on, because I have God who is what will fulfill me in the end. With each new adventure I take on, with all the excitement and journeys I take, I will be at peace knowing the journeys are not what I need to be content in this world, it is my faith and my leader which will make me feel at peace and satisfied.
