A little bit of clarity?

I'm sure if you read my last post you will have realised that i have been slightly frustrated with things of late...work being the main thing. Some of you may know that I have been applying to join the police. I got word back last week there that I was unsuccessful yet again. I had completed the Initial Selection test, and the successful candidates go through to the next stage. The pass mark for this test was 52...i got 51. Gutted isn't the word! Although I have been having thoughts that maybe the police isn't for me (I thought this before I heard I hadn't been successful) and so my thoughts turned to jobs that I think I would want to do, a job that I will enjoy, and one that I think I will be good at. I have found myself back at a thought I had when I was a youngster...Beauty Therapy. This is something I have always wanted to do, but then I went to university to do languages so it never entered my head again. Now that I know I don't want a job using languages (what a waste I hear you cry!!) i needed to get my thinking cap on as time is rolling on and I aint getting any younger or richer!! So in October 2009 (good things come to those who wait eh??) I shall be enrolling in the Roberta Mechan College of Beauty and I don't think I have been as excited about anything else! I think I would be good at this job, I think I will really enjoy it and in the future i hope to open my own salon...so for your future spray tan or waxing needs i'm your woman!!
One other thing that has been brought to my attention is a comment Scotty made on a recent blog about marriage being on the cards soon...i'm still waiting for that!! haha (get a move on Scotty!!) xxxxx

Rant...Contentment

Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel like crap but have no real reason to? I'm having one of those days. I don't know why. I feel that this may be a bit of a sour post, but hey, blogging is about truth isn't it? I realise that a few posts ago i was writing about my happiness...how ironic. I find it so wierd how one little thing can bring down your whole mood.
I'm at a point in my life right now where i really have no idea where i'm meant to be, what i'm meant to be doing, or more importantly, where God wants me. I know i don't want to be in retail all my life (i'm in no way knocking those who make their living this way, i'm just saying it's not for me). Pastor Phil was speaking about contentment on Sunday evening, something i feel i need a little bit more of at the minute, not in one particular area of my life, in fact, a little bit in every aspect would be great. Philippians 4 v 11 says, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances"....Sometimes i wonder to myself, is it possible to ever be completely content with everything in your life? Like i mean EVERYTHING? These are just my own thoughts, stupid as they may seem. This is written in the study part of my Bible under the above verse...

"Are you content in any circumstances you face? Paul knew how to be content whether he had plenty or whether he was in need. The secret was drawing on Christ's power for strength. Do you have great needs, or are you discontented because you do not have what you want? Learn to rely on God's promises and Christ's power to help you be content. If you always want more, ask God to remove that desireand teach you contentment in every circumstance. He will supply all your needs, but in a way that He knows is best for you."
