Frustrated but focused

Is it in this journey or on this journey? LOL! Well whichever. I'll say, life, the journey of life is filled with many twists and turns, winding roads, road blocks, setbacks and eventually smooth terrain. I have been actively seeking the Lord for His direction and His guidance as I travel along. The place I am right now, is all too familiar. In His presence, in His will, hmmm...... So why isn't that enough? Why am I not content. It's because I want to be all that God wants me to be and more. Somehow I've allowed people to make me think that I have to be more than what I am and in turn I have become frustrated by what I'm not. Paul says in the book of Phillippians that we must press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus. So as I press I am a bit frustrated, yet I am focused, because the goal I seek to reach is not here on earth. If I never get that dream car, dream house, wear a size 8, have a husband, get a PhD, I still press, because what I will eventually gain instead can all be compared to dung. WOW! Are there times when you have become frustrated by life? A process? Even your gift? The spirit of God showed me that it's okay to become frustrated as long as we sin not and realize that the journey is just the path to fulfilled prophecy. I know its been a while since I've written but be sure that I love you all. There is a lot that I have in me that I want to share, it just takes time and finding the right rest stop.
