Divine Dissatisfaction

Divine dissatisfaction. Have you ever heard the term? Rex Crain defines it as "The real you making a demand on the you that you've become and the you that you've settled for."

I personally believe that you will always have divine dissatisfaction...

It's that inner voice telling you that there is something more somewhere else waiting for you. Pushing you to keep searching.

Without it, you are stuck, no longer growing; no longer learning in this adventure of life. Each adventure that we take shapes us and prepares us for a new adventure in the future. What we will learn will not be determined until they are in use (dang it)! Everything enters in our life for a season and each season has a different timeline.

It is SO easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life that before you know it you stop and wonder where has all the time gone? I know from experience! With the Christmas season in full swing and school breaks about to begin, life has gotten CRAZY! I have pushed and pushed and pushed myself for the last few months to sacrifice more of myself- time and energy, and today that divine dissatisfaction is strong!

I am reminded to stop and be still for a bit and listen to the guidance of that inner voice...there is so much more to this thing called life than wake up, get the kids off to school, laundry, chores, pick the kids up, take them to their commitments, dinner, bed, repeat. And that's a quite day! LOL!

Do you have divine dissatisfaction? What is your inner voice telling you? Or have you been squelching - "I don't have time", "I deal with that later", etc.? If you find yourself in a rut or no longer happy doing what your doing; it's time for change. What will that change be? I'm interested to know!
