Dreams

Dreams are awesome, awesome things until you wake up and reality smacks you in the face like a doctor smacks a newborn baby.
As a Christian, I know that some of my dreams won't line up with God's plan, and I should seek God's will in my life instead of filling my life with everything I want. But what if what I want and what God wants are the same thing? It's hard to let go of those dreams.
Case and point: marriage.  I know that God designed marriage, and His plan is that most people will get married. But I can never really be sure that I'm going to be married....so should I desire it as much as I do now? I know that it is a good thing....I also know that God wants me to practise contentment in my single life.  It's SO HARD, though.
If I knew what would happen in my life, then I'd probably be a lot more content. But it isn't my job to know the future: it's God's.  So I need to know my place...and trust God. It's not hard to put your trust in someone who has the best interests and his glorious plan at heart.
