Need Peace and Contentment

We recently moved to a new location due to my husband's military career.  Oh how I loved our previous station.  It was a big base, had lots to offer as far as homeschool resources, churches, events, sites to visit, and the weather was absolutely, positively awesome.  The new station he is assigned to is literally a hole in the wall base, where homeschooling is mostly non-existent, churches of our faith are few and far between, there are no local events or sites to see, and the weather is atrocious!  I find myself pondering of ways of how to get orders back to the previous base.   I even have a countdown on my calendar of how much longer my husband has until he can request a new set of orders.

I have been a military spouse for 15+ years, have lived all over the country, and have NEVER, ever had this hard of a time adapting to a new station.

I know God has my family here for a reason, and I am almost certain of what that reason is; however, I (and my family) need peace and contentment during our time here.  We need to learn how to make the best of our situation.  I know our life isn't "hard"....we could be in a 3rd world country starving and not know our Lord and Savior. So with that said, I find myself feeling selfish that I am complaining and not finding happiness when there are hundreds of people that would love to have the opportunity to live my current living situation.....but that still doesn't take away the unhappiness of my (our) life here.

I pray for Peace and Contentment with our current living location.  I pray for positive opportunities to open up for my family; rather it be events to attend, positive friendships with others, or even an opportunity to move to our old base.  I pray for these things.

Please join me in prayer.
