Contentment

Sometimes it's hard to be content, no matter how hard you try. Take my job, for instance. I was getting restless, ready for a challenge, so I applied for a different position. I was told that I was qualified, but not for the particulars of this position, but the next time it came up I would be the first person considered. I was upset at first, but after reflecting on how God gave me this job and it's the best one I've ever had, I decided to be content with where I am at this time. Then yesterday happened. I won't go into details, but there is someone in this company who continually looks for everyone's faults. It is her opinon that people should not make mistakes (except for her, then it's not her mistake, it's someone elses) and should do everything perfectly, all the time. Well, unfortunately, I am not perfect. Which in this case is not really relevant, since I didn't make a mistake, she is just convinced that I did. What she said and did yesterday and today have caused me to once again become uncontent in my job. I am looking for the real reason- is it because I would like more to do? To try something different? Or because I just don't like working for this person anymore? Is it to the extreme that I might not wait for this other position and just work somewhere else? I don't know. What I do know is that I prayed for this job, and God blessed me with it. So that makes me think maybe I'm supposed to stick it out a bit longer and see what happens. I know now that contentment is not something I can ask for once; it is a daily prayer. True contentment, that is all anyone can really ever ask for.
