Struggling

Lately I have been struggling.

My husband and I have been living in a home that is somewhat 3 bedroom 1 bath, it is a pretty old and run down.    I don't even like to clean my house because I do not like it.  I find it difficult to enjoy cleaning something that will be ugly when I am done.

I am at a point in my life where I am ready to find a home that I enjoy.

We have been searching and looking for a place to rent and in our area there isn't a lot to choose from.  So we keep patiently waiting.  I am seriously struggling here internally.  I want to know why I haven't found something.  I want to know why I am paying twice in daycare expenses than what I can currently afford in our home.  

I just keep thinking God has this, this is in His time frame, I know He has a plan.  

I find myself constantly doubting those statements on a daily basis.  Because my walk with God is not where it should be am I struggling believing that He is there?  Am I struggling because I keep feeling like He doesn't have mine and my families best interests at heart?  Is the unknowing of where we will end up the hardest part?

In the end I keep going, I bring the positive energy back into our home.  Deep down inside I struggle with the worry of not knowing if things will get better for us.  I strive to be positive to always see the bright side of things, I strive to be sure that I point those things out to other people but lately I have been unable to convince myself that the positive outweighs the negative.  At what point in life do you get to a place of contentment and how can you tell the difference between being content and settling?

Here is what I leave you and me with today;
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"
Hebrews 13:5
