Sometimes you wonder why life is so unfair. You look all around you and you see people enjoying life with their friends, family, and loved ones and you're walking all alone to school/work. You see pictures on billboards with people living what seems to be a life of wealth, pleasures, and other superficial things, without being aware that the person walking in front of you is still struggling with drug addiction and family problems.
There are times when you're bored with nothing to do. Your path ahead appears to be a field. You think about other things to do, like drawing and running, and you wonder if it's worth it. You don't really have much of a choice except for DNTG-ing, or take the wasteful path of browsing things on the internet and checking Facebook every hour. Sometimes you even wonder why your non-believer classmates and friends have a lot of blessings in their packed lives and you don't have much. You get jealous when one of your friends talk and post nothing except for how much they're in love with their significant other or house or whatever. You ask God "How come my life is so boring compared to (inserts name of person)?"
There are times when it's the Lord's will that you have an unsatisfying life so you can fly back to Him. He wants your full attention toward Him because He loves you so much. The Lord wants to hold authority over you so you can have a best life He desires you to have. If we search for a life that doesn't match God's plan, thinking only about ourselves, then we would find ourselves empty, no matter how many things we have.
"For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." James 4:14
Recalling yesterday's group meeting we were talking about how we care so much about worldly matter we forget about the Best. We should be blessed that no matter how busy or bored we are we should treasure every moment with the Lord, because you never know what happens tomorrow according to His plan. The same goes for non-believers who seem satisfied with their lives. One day they could lose everything, like Job. They need God just as much as we do because only He can mould our lives perfectly.
If you feel that your life needs a little kick, you can pray to God for yourself "Lord, I know that You cause all things to work for Your good. Let me know what You want me to do with my life."

i agree karen :)
Only do we start to live our life the way God intended for us to live, otherwise, we'd always be unsatisfied. We were created for Him, to love and be loved by Him :)
Thanks Karen for this post. How precious that with God in our lives nothing is *dull* or *boring*! There is no point, or no need in trying to compare our lives with that of others, for we have God in our lives. The world may offer other things that are exciting, friends that are fun--but He truly gives us what we need.
Although we may long for all that our friends may have, what if it turns out, that what we long for isn't all that it is hyped up to be? When we start comparing our insufficiencies with other people, we must be weary of jealously and greed.
We should be satisfied in the Lord, always. Also, if we don't have much of a choice except for DNG-ing or doing other time-wasters, I say, always choose to DNG. Even our days consist of nothing else and seems *boring*, always choose DNG.. AND YOUR DAY WILL NEVER BE BORING EVER AGAIN!
With the Lord walk side by side.
