Ordinary Life

Lately, I have been struggling with being okay with ordinary.  My life hasn't really changed by way of circumstances in the last 3 years and that is very hard for me to be ok with.  The monotony of it starts to get to me and causes me to grown restless and crave some sort of adventure or anything different than what is right now and I am discontent with this mundane life of mine.
It seems, however, that the Lord has other plans for me; He has told me to wait at a time when I would rather move ahead full speed into the next "adventure".  Why has the Lord put my dreams and ambitions on hold? I have no idea, but I do know that He does have a plan for me, a plan for my good and one to glorify His name (Jer. 29:11-13).  I also know that no matter how mundane or exciting my life is, Christ wants it all, He doesn't care what kind of job I do or don't have, it doesn't matter what kind of influence I have, all that matters to God is am I right with Him and am I willing to follow His lead, if the answer is yes, then I have nothing to worry about, adventure or no, I'll be living a life that is worth living; a life sold out for Christ.

Here is a message by Mason Vann that helped me tremendously in this time of living my ordinary and mundane life.

(I'm sorry a lot of this is jumbled and doesn't really flow...just listen to the message, you won't regret it :) )
