Today I’m reminding myself that where I am is where I should be.
No matter how much I think I want to be in the other room. As much as I want the appreciation I think I deserve. Regardless of whether I feel my efforts are or noticed or not, He knows where I will bring Him the most glory. And I have to trust that.
Oftentimes, I think the grass is greener on the other side and forget that the side I’m on is personally landscaped and fertilized for me. When I start wishing my situation was different, I'm not only telling God He doesn't know what He's doing but I'm missing the opportunites in front of me. It's a waste of time. Today, I'm choosing to be present where I am and realize that I've been placed here for a specific reason.
May He teach us to be present on our own side of the fence.
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places…~Ps. 16:5-6
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters ~Ps. 23:2
This is part of 31 days (of being present). Join the other 31 day-ers here.

Nice post. Let’s get started…
Mine is 31 Days in Jakarta. Hope you like it. It tells you all about the daily life an Australia Expat family faces in a strange city in Asia.
