Restless

Hi! This is going to sound a little strange--I've been feeling quite restless for some time and I wish I could stop it. I have a potentially good job, a very good husband, two great kids, I like to bake, and I'm gradually losing weight. So on the surface, I look great. Still I feel as though I am lacking something and just wish I knew what it was. Does anyone have some imput? I do have a chance of baking something for my co-workers. I have the feeling it isn't church (I had a very bad experience and that is another story) but I could use some suggestions. Thanks for listening.

I think it's the potential for a good job. I think you know that deep down you're an achiever. That even though you have a good family, you can't feel content because you know you could achieve much more if you pursued your career. Anyway, this is just my opinion. I hope I'm wrong. In any case good luck with the job (if you get it)!

Hi! Thanks for getting back to me. :-) I think part of the reason why I felt so restless is that I haven't worked in so long and I want for my dreams (for myself and for my family) to become reality as any sensible parent would. I also want to contribute back to my community; donate to worthy causes and volunteer perhaps. For example when PBS is on one of their campaigns and they need only $600...I'd like nothing better to be the caller to not only help them meet their goal, but beat it. I know that this makes me sound like a goody two-shoes but....there was always a need to be involved in my family and I just want to continue that so my family can continue when they are ready to do so. Thanks for being there.

i don't want to interfere with you. But i think my word will be a big help for you. Only Jesus can change everything in you. He can give you rest. I believe you are not just experiencing restless physically, you are also experiencing "no peace in heart". God can make you new again. You have to lay your life to Jesus and watch His amazing hands moving. his grace is so wonderful.
